Must have been a Glock...
Not necessarily, although we'll have to get the actual word from USA1.
He used to have some brand of .380.
Currently his carry is a Taurus PT-145.
SIA
you are correct , on both accounts .

he was an amputee , so he was unable to rack a slide back
That is done quite easily one handed by wedging the gun on the inside of the strongside knee and compressing.

Or snatch the slide's rear sight to strong side of said belt and push down will work.

Impossible. If you shoot yourself in the leg, you're automatically disqualified for CHL.

Make sure it is clean & oiled. Get some practice ammo ASAP & to the range soon as you have the opportunity.
I have done it, I confess.
BUT the only time was the Nork I just bought from HV & he had already verified it reliable to my satisfaction.
Did you carry this one before your shot it???
This is NOT a photoshopped pic...

Never trust unproven equipment with your life even if it is something as reliable as a glock

All guns are paper weights in my eyes until they've proven to be functional and reliable at the range. I will not even carry a gun after cleaning it until it's been test fired again. I rotate carry guns.
Range session involving carry gun(s), clean gun, next range session, test fire previously cleaned gun and assuming it's functioning normally, it goes back in the carry rotation.
