Start all training with a revolver. The good old model 10 s&w 4" is golden for this.

I think AD is a better explaination.When I think negligent I think incompetence. Like someone dicking around with a loaded gun and sending one. Or not 100% verifying the gun is unloaded and sending one.
Your friend had an accidental discharge. He wasn't in total control of the gun and his inexperience caused the firearm to likely bump fire. Just my guess given the information provided.
Definitely. You can bump a regular trigger too if the recoil is right and your grip is wrong.I think AD is a better explaination.
And its interesting to learn a pistol can be bump fired.
Would a light trigger contribute to this? I think one of his sigs has an apex or some custom trigger... I need to ask next call.
I gave up my .40 cuz it seemed snappy to me, and that was a full sized EAA Witness. Shot a friend's full sized TAurus .40 last summer and my granny hands didn't like it at all.Depending on what gun? Compact, yeah? Sub compact with .40 S&W? That's a lot of recoil for a newb. It's too much for me to want to mess with.
See here^, this is why I think you and I have some kind of "Connection". Early on, 2012 maybe, I was looking at guns at Kieths. I liked what I saw in the case, no other information, a CZ SP01 in .40. I bought it knowing nothing about .40. It's surprising how much recoil that little .40 has. I like the caliber and it's one of the handguns I can do pretty good with. I could never have a compact or sub compact in .40 though. Not a good choice for a newb, or someone recoil sensitive (me) I'd say.I gave up my .40 cuz it seemed snappy to me, and that was a full sized EAA Witness.
I've got a buddy that's gone shooting twice, both with me. The first time was like fifteen years ago with him my Glock 23. Most recently, he went with me two months ago. I started him on my Volquartsen 6", then moved him up to the Glock 17. Even at 6'2" and a solid 200#, the recoil/report got to him after about 100 rounds of 9mm. New shooters should definitely be using 22lr or a heavy 9mm to get accustomed to the report and recoil.See here^, this is why I think you and I have some kind of "Connection".

I used to be 6'0" and 160lbs (a long time ago), now I'm 5'10" and 260lbs (wow).... but after 100rds of 9mm my hands hurt for two days... never used to bother me at all. Granny hands. Makes even me, with 50yrs of shooting, want to flinch.Even at 6'2" and a solid 200#, the recoil/report got to him after about 100 rounds of 9mm.
I feel like I've completed a feat of strength when I've been to the range and gone through 40 rnds in the M1 if/when my shoulder doesn't ache when I get home! I do wear a poothy pad though.I used to be 6'0" and 160lbs (a long time ago), now I'm 5'10" and 260lbs (wow).... but after 100rds of 9mm my hands hurt for two days... never used to bother me at all.

M1A or M1carbine??I feel like I've completed a feat of strength when I've been to the range and gone through 40 rnds in the M1 if/when my shoulder doesn't ache when I get home! I do wear a poothy pad though.
He did, on his own.I will add that this guy is currently a danger to himself and others even beyond the typical "guns can be dangerous" mantra and he should stop using those pistols that are clearly beyond his skill level currently.
I'm glad, that was a wise decision on his part. Some people are too prideful to do that.He did, on his own.
He will figure this out.
Maybe all he's ever shot is DA with a DA revolver.. I've shot many 10's of thousands w same. If I pick up a certain pocket 9 of mine after flogging my wheel blaster it's easy to double/let one get away. But at least they're all on target even at 20 yards. That thing is stupid easy to shoot fast and well.Start all training with a revolver. The good old model 10 s&w 4" is golden for this.
