Brief Exposure

At the accident scene, two things happened.

The impact was sufficient to unsnap the holster the Model 59 was in.

The durn thing fell out right at the feet of a paramedic asking me questions.

I retrieved it from the ground and said, "you didn't see that."  He, properly, replied, "see what?"

A bit later, when we all recognized I was going to be going to the ER and would need to leave the pistol for Marv to take home for me...

I looked at the deputy running the scene and asked, "I'm going to need to open carry for a bit to take off the holster, we cool?"

We were.

The only aggravating thing was the EMT from earlier "helpfully" taking the pistol out of the holster and clearing it.

Both the deputy and I said something to the effect, "administrative handling is where accidents happen!"

That same EMT shoved the round that he cleared into the magazine...  There were 18 in that mag when I got the gun back from Marv.  A 17-rounder.  I wonder if he damaged the spring.

    Yeah, replace the spring just to be sure. At least the cop didn't confiscate the gun or anything stupid, and you were lucid enough to have a responsible exchange and handling experience.
