Default Ouch . . .Well Not Really . . .

But it could have, was plinking around with the good ole' Ruger Single Six "New Model" and about 3 seconds or so after the shot this lil bugger fell straight down on me hit me in the forehead and went behind my shooting glasses . . .smart bullet . . .I think SO !

not sure what i hit but musta been hard, flat, and angled just right



EDIT:
For clarification, it's the rounded object on the right !

Dang. That was lucky. I never used to use shooting glasses when I was young and foolish. I was shooting my .45 after starting to use my brains and one of the empties came back and hit me right in my lens.

I was at an IDPA classifier match shooting a Glock 30 (.45) when a piece of hot brass hit the brim of my NRA pall cap and lodged between my right temple and my safety glasses. It burned into my skin and stuck there.

Made me miss expert classification.
