Worked construction when I first got out of the AF .. My boss took a cash job where some guy did the same as you but his round went thru the wall and struck a commode on the other side cracking it causing a bit of water damage ..
His wife was in Florida and he wanted it fixed so she wouldn't ever know .. and she was coming back in 2 days .. We fixed it up like new and made 3 times what the job would normally cost .. He called it hush money .. gave each of us an envelope and when he handed it to us told each of us " You have never been here !!"
We laughed about it for years after ..I always wondered if she ever found out !!

Let's see the drain needed cleaning, you want to remodel the bathroom anyway,
When I first ccw a 1911 in a shoulder holster I had a empty chamber. At night after work I would pull the mag and pull the trigger. One night something told me to check the chamber. It chambered a round when I stuck it in the mag. I was lucky I checked it. From then on cocked and locked.

Wow- just when you thought you have read it all.
Lets gets this straight:
You shot yourself in the hand
Shot your bathroom apart - some 38 years later.
John with all due respect:
Take an NRA safety course again and sell all of your guns.
Good Luck
Pete

I may have told this here before, so forgive me if it's a repeat to anyone. I was newly married in 1978 and the following winter we moved into a larger metropolitan area where I felt I needed a handgun for the house. Being winter (where construction work naturally slows down) and during the worst economic times of my life, I ended up with a Ruger Single Six, and for some reason had it loaded with shot shells.
The wife was cooking supper and I was playing with my unloaded gun (Yeah, right. I only thought it was unloaded), when I pull back the hammer and purposely pointed it at the floor and pulled the trigger.
Boy were we both surprised to hear a gun go off in the house (trailer). Fortunately 22 shot shells didn't penetrate the shag carpet, padding and subfloor. No holes could be found, so I did not have to tell the landlady about it. Even more fortunate, at least one of the rules for handling guns stuck with me. Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.
One other time, more recently (another Ruger single action) my cotton gloves slipped off the hammer while I was farting around with my .41 magnum in a deer blind. 10 years later, I still have a hole in my blind, and my ears are still ringing. They ring all the time these days.

I was going to wait until forever to tell of my latest mishap, but owe it to OP to ring in and let him know he's not alone. This occurred on a Sunday night early last October.
First, I have 2 HK Elites. One is my nitestand and the other is empty for gen purposes, whatever you want to call it. I was watching a youtube vid of Israeli Security Forces about their technique in handgun draw, point and shoot. Lot of differences from my own, which is just get it out and shoot. I practiced dry firing at my TV at people and went back to the youtube vid to have a second look, then I picked up the wrong HK. There is a 1 inch steel brace in the TV, pretty heavy and just by luck the bullet hit it instead of going completely through the TV and through a wall. I went outside to check initially to see if I had a hole on the outside and the dogs were nowhere to be found. I then found out the TV stopped the bullet.
After my AD in the early 80s I swore never again. That was with a 44 mag going off as I was re-holstering. Had a large black and blue bruise on my hip. No one was hurt in either case except for a case of extreme self denial and nerves for a while.

Is it open season for killing sinks? Sorry I had to ask.
I was cleaning a tube fed marlin 22 semi auto rifle. I had the tube apart cleaned the barrel and put the tube back in. A round popped out in the chamber. I have no clue were it came from.
Sometimes it's a reality check. I never have ammo on the table were I clean guns never.
About reloading I told the family not to bother me or talk to me when I'm reloading. Distractions can cause mistakes.

Pretty loud, I would expect
Thanks for providing continuing education credits
I was surprised that my HK Elite 45 didn't seem all that loud, ears didn't ring. And I can testify that the Buffalo Bore 185gr Barnes had almost no flash. Except to the laptop and tv there was no light on in the bedroom. That or else everything happened in a microsecond and my brain didn't have time to register the event completely.

...a thick backdrop to shoot some Speer Plastic bullets in the house. Those things are a lot more potent than they look because when I took away the back drop my wall board was marred up pretty bad.
Yup, I dented the freezer door on the fridge with a 44 cal plastic bullet. I remember those. I was shooting at an empty coffee can on top of the fridge and it hit low. Left a red smudge too.

Yes......It Was! Went from a table holding a couple guns and shooting accessories to feet covered with glass and everything else on top of the broken glass. I get much better mileage outta plastic shooting tables.
PS: there's a big difference in AD vs. ND.... here's a pic of ND's

I got a clock that will fit in very well in the bathroom. You will always know what time it was, once. Not my best work. (when the weather warms up, I am going to get out the router and make a plaque to mount it on to remind me to check the chamber)

Even that clock is still right twice a day!
