I shot myself in the hand (little graphic)

Ok boys let the bashing begin. I was at home the other day and I had just gotten a new revolver the previous day. trying to get a feel or the gun and get used to it. Ok to start with I was unfamiliar with gun hence the reason for getting used to it. i opened the cylinder and dumped the bullets and shut the cylinder. two mistakes i made i did not count the bullets that came out and i did not clear the cylinder. That is my stupidity, that is a mistake i will live with for the rest of my life. It happened too easy and I never thought this could happened to me. What happened next is just a blur now some how the hammer got cocked and the trigger pulled still to this day i do not know how it happened. my left pointer was in front of the barrel and i have shot the second joint of the finger off. as of now i still have the tip of my finger but i will find out tomorrow if i get to keep it or we might cut what is left off. I was reel skeptical about posting this because of how ashamed of what happened but i hope that a mistake i made can help others take a little more caution when handling firearms. remember i did not think this could happen to so I know i can happen to anybody else here are some pics while was in ths ER.

Ouch....that's gotta hurt. I don't really know what else to say.

Is this your first revolver?

I know it is too late for you but I do hope that this posts helps others. Thank God no one was standing in front of you and your finger was the only casualty.

A couple of lessons learned. I`m glad it was not worse, and I`m also glad that you will realize your sigline.

There are no second chances with firearms. I hate that happened, but it could have been worse. Hang in there and get well.
