Police said they would assess the firearm to see if there were any safety problems.
The shooting occurred on Tuesday last week at a property on Moore Road, Clyde, after a gun accidentally discharged, police said.
The man, who is said to be a licensed firearms holder in his forties, was shot in the hip while placing the gun in his car.
The bullet is believed to have gone through the gun container (box)and through the back of the ute before it hit the man and shattered his hip.
Part of the bullet still remains lodged in him.
