OUCH!!! ~first off...
The obvious thoughts are with your friend for a full quick recovery.

I have to say though...
When you pull that pistol you are 100% and on your A game.
You remain that way until your holster goes click and your secure.

It may seem overly cautious, but remember you fight how you train.
If everytime you pull that pistol you are completely focused,
you have a better chance to act the same the next time (under pressure).

Man that looks like it is a gift that keeps on giving...
I am sure it only hurts more over time... ouch!!!
