Re: Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

I'm guessing he was playing with it. From what I'm hearing/reading, this happened during flight, when the gun should already have been in the holster and nowhere else. Pilot probably pulled out his H&K to fondle, and pressed the trigger. Not a lack of training, but a lack of personal discipline on his part.

BTW, IIRC, they're currently using H&K USP Compacts. Good little gun, not likely to AD (I use a similar gun for work, the P2000, and it's nigh-impossible for this gun to AD - it takes a conscious effort to pull the trigger).
