What would cause this?

Factory ammo or a reload?

Something you shot or picked up at the range?


It looks like powder got hot, as in high pressure. Is the primer bulged? It should be smooth with the firing pin indent. If the indent is even with the rest of the primer or the primer has a small hump, then the load was too hot for the firearm. I've also seen this when the wrong round is fired in a gun, for example .380 in a 9mm.

Factory Winchester ball round brand new I shot. I was using my Glock. I just read somewhere this is common with Glocks.

I didn't look at the primer, sorry.

Looks like that piece of brass slipped through QC at the factory. I've seen that before with Win brass with the color.

I bought a bunch of new 9mm and 40 S&W Win brass to reload. During reloading, I found most of it was short on length by .006" to .011". :eek: :shakes head: :mad:

Glocks are famous for bulging the brass.

In one respect I agree with Ghost... On the other hand, I'm thinking the complete opposite. There's a chance the charge isn't burning hot enough to expand the casing to prevent blowback. If that's the case, you are actually in an under pressure situation. That could spell trouble if you rapid fire as you are now more likely to wind up with a round stuck in the chamber. Try to switch out ammo. If it still does it then I'd get the barrel chamber checked. Might not be perfectly cut.

If the barrel checks out then leave it with a gunsmith to diagnose. Any issue like that tells me there is a problem and no firearm should exhibit problems.

It was an isolated incident.

It's good it was an isolated incident, but it points out that in today's ammo situation (manufacturers trying to fill demand), it's really important to pay attention to felt recoil and sound. If you have a round that doesn't feel or sound 'right', it's time to stop and inspect the firearm. I saw a Thompson copy have 5 ( :eek:) .45 ACP rounds stuck in the barrel because of one low charge round that didn't clear the muzzle. The idiot was lucky the carbine didn't blow up on him.

Holy crap! How the hell does THAT happen? You'd think that after the second shot with no new hole resulting in the target there might be a little bit of a big freakin' problem! Silly people. But you are right. Check and test your ammo. Carefully.

Then you got a single, under-charged round. It happens. But certainly not a good thing.

Made worse that it was fired by the less experienced Mrs. BoneZ.

Can Cannon PSA
 

PSA

For those who don't know a while back BATFE reclassified the Can Cannon by X Products so that when it was on a AR-15 lower it was an SBR and a AR-15 Pistol lower an AOW. That put guys like me who owned the Can Cannon in the dog house due to not having any SBR lowers or AOW lowers. Luckily I had a friend with a SBR willing to babysit mine ever since that ruling came out.

X Products promised to fix this and they have.

The new design of the gas port passed BATFE approval and X Products have set up a replacement program for the new gas tube.

BATFE Letter: https://www.xproducts.com/sites/defa...Can-Cannon.pdf

Also X Products has released the grappling hook for the Can Cannon. :tup:
Comes in different colors, grey, red, blue, and gold.

Dude. Now I want that cannon just for the grappling hook!

I'm ordering one soon. :D
Still thinking about the color.

I would have just kept it at home, out of sight. In some cases, the BATFags are just silly..... :shakes head:

Well. The cool thing is, if he doesn't put out when he gets back, I keep the cannon and use it as a sex toy.

At the moment I don't want to tempt fate. :rolleyes:

which means he's cool with it if there's a little stickiness left on it when he's gets it back. ;)

:nutswinger:

Had some range time this morning. Put a apex fss trigger kit in my m&p9fs with new extractor and a duty/carry kit in my shield. The shield feels amazing. And wow the 9fs is a completely new gun. Im impressed.

Pick up a Glock 19 in burnt bronze Cerakote today. :yum:

And pick this up too. :rolleyes:

Why can't I see your pictures or your Misc album in your profile? :icon14:

It is set to a private album.

Edit: I have set that way because I don't want those pics popping up on the main page.

Probably getting a handgun permit soon. What to get for range use? I've been looking at the Walther PPQ m2 9mm

Glock 19

That's the perfect pistol if you're only going to own one.

I've never liked Glocks. Not sure why. My friend has a Glock 19 and I hate it

Then try out an XD or M&P. Functionally pretty much the same as the Glock, but the designers actually took the time to make sure it felt good in your hand.

Or just buy a 1911. The answer is usually 1911.

was planning a 1911 further down the line. I've been checking out the XD

Depends on you hand. The G19 fit me like a glove. Important point being, try several to find the one that's best for you.

:iagree:

Go rent a bunch at the range and see which fits you best. I already had multiple Glocks before I bought my M&P subcompact, but had I tested it before all the Glocks I would have gone that direction.

:iagree:


Best advice

With the S&W M&P full size. You get 3 different back straps you can change.

I've shot a lot of Glocks, thinking that I might get one. But in the end. I always end end with something else. Glocks for some reason, I can't get to like them. Just not my cup of tea. They are good pistols thou.

I remember when I was young there were a few referred to as "glocknades" Don't know how relevant that is still. Either way just don't like em. Once I get my permit, the local range is going to let me test a couple guns. (all 9mm for starting) Walther PPQ M2, Beretta M92 (I've had a love for them but have a feeling I'll be let down by it) Beretta PX4 Storm, Springfield XD and a few different M&P's. I want to take a look at H&K's lineup soon

Have a 9mm Beretta 92 FS. Nice shooting gun. But the grip is on the large size if you have small mitts.

On Glocks. If you reload. You might not be able to reload because of a thing called the Glock bulge. Anyone here experienced this? Have a couple of friends who have.

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...=glock%20bulge

The Berreta 92 is a great gun. Some of the newer variants have thinner grips. Especially the the latest M9A3 which has a thinner grip and uses wrap around grip panels to change the thickness of the grip.

IIRC Glock bulge has more to do with the .40 S&W (and 10mm) models due to the higher pressures those rounds have. I've heard that 9mm and .45 ACP (and GAP) models don't really have that issue but it is possible when shooting very hot loads. It comes from the chamber not being fully supported. There are some reloading dies out there that will fix cases with Glock bulge. For 9mm I wouldn't worry about it and IMO reloading 9mm is not worth it due to very cheap bulk ammo out there.

I seen the bulge in 9mm on both Glock and S&W M&P Shields. My wife's Shield doesn't like +Plus loads.

I reload everything I shoot. Cast my own bullets for pistols for target shooting. Just got done reloading 1200 rounds of 38 spl for my brother inlaw. Have 800 rounds of 9mm waiting to be reloaded. And 1800 rounds of 40 S&W waiting too.

What press do you use? I'm sure you mentioned it way back when, but being old and senile, I forgot... :rolleyes:



I use a Hornady LNL progressive, but I still have a couple of RCBS Rockchuckers hanging around. :tup:

I'm also an owner of a Beretta 92fs Italy Inox.

I just bought two great pistols. Before I say what they are.... I own 5 steel and aluminum. Pistols. I hate polymer guns. Particularly striker fired pistols. I'm old school in that sense.

I'm not a polymer pistol fanboy of any type. When I bought the Walther PPQ, I thought it was the end all be all to my polymer pistol purchase until I shot a Sig P320 compact and my mouth just opened at the ridiculous accuracy of this pistol from first to last shot. Slow fire or rapid fire. The Sig P320 was AMAZING. Sold the PPQ got the P320.

On the side note I bought the best brand new gun in the universe for $209.00 The Taurus PT111 G2. Wow can that thing perform for its price point. I put it up against the Smith & Wesson Shield and Glock 26. I just couldn't justify buying anything else considering all the guns are half plastic.
The Taurus with a 3.2 inch barrel shoots a 1inch wider group than my Beretta and CZ 75B. It's just amazing. I have one mag with hornady 115 grcritical defense, another mag with Winchester ranger T 124+p.
Both I range tested and both performed phenomenal. Just thought I'd throw this in.
