    Were you the guy shooting 9mm out of a .40 out at the BZ?;):rofl:
    Seriously, sunday morning, the guy there when we got there showed me the area that was littered with bulging and ruptured 9mm cases. They had expanded to the dia. of a .40!! Had to be 30 rounds at least!:eek3::eek3::eek3::eek3: How do you NOT notice somethings amiss???:confused::eek3:

    Any chance Glock will replace the barrel? It may be worth a call to ask if you can get a new barrel free or at a discount. New ammo. or reloads?

    I think there was another .40 that had a case rupture previous to Bam's problem. I know the guy just didn't get the story yet. Pretty sure the shooter was OK & the gun went on with no damage.

    I had a case rupture on a .22 pistol. It was the rim that split. That totally convinced me of 2 things. You need to always have the safety glasses on. Even when other shooters are in a different pistol bay. You do not want case ruptures.

    Bad day for the Glock fo-tays.

    tony44 on Glock Talk has a new unused G23 barrel, two ten round mags and a recoil spring for a G23 all shipped for $100.

    The case rupture was in a 9mm Glock. Nate was shooting his own reloads and the brass was 30 year old military brass. He was not injured but lost 9 rounds out of a 12 round string so his points were destroyed.
