Before this becomes a debate about Kimbers, not saying it is just before. I had a Springfield XDM 3.8 9mm loved the gun! went to the range and somehow got a double primer or powder and it blew the grip and the chamber to hell. I told myself never again and that's why I went with Kimber, steel frame. Springfield is aluminum.

Damn that sucks. It seems ur hand is fine I hope.
So in a situation like yours, did the ammo company or Springfield do anything for you?

Factory loads, or reloads? You can't get a double primer. But you can get too much powder! Also the round before it might have been under charged and not left the barrel. But have enough kick to cycle the slide. Fired the next round and boooom! Seen that happen a time or three.

That looks like a casing blow out due to bad/old brass. Happened to me once when using reloaded ammo my dad had bought at a gun show. Luckily the gun was a Berretta 92FS and I was wearing eye pro, had burning powder and brass fragments hit my face. A couple of parts popped out but I was able to put the gun back together at the range. Then my dad took a turn and not even a mag later it happened again. Some people might bad mouth the 92FS but it is a tough gun. Even after having 2 case blow outs in one outing it was functional after a little bit of help. We took a closer look at the batch of ammo and found a few rounds were the casing was visibly cracked. The lesson here is to be careful when purchasing reloaded ammo, especially semi-auto pistol ammo.

Obama does not want Americans to have the AR15 to fight off islam's AKs. After all that is why most of have them. Not trying to get political but this ban is preposterous and needs to be stopped.

Too damn cold to go shooting proper today, but the light was nice. So, I thought I'd take some pics this morning.
