(Update) Exploding Handgun

[nice shot]

Ya the barrel is done, the lower frame is done and I'm sure the slide and striker are toast also...I need to bring the barrel to the range and show the manager the barrel now that I was able to get it a part...And I think I'm going to leave out that I used reload ammo when I send it back to Springfield

Keep us posted on how LAX is handling this.

You don't think they read internet forums?

scary lesson. I'd be honest about the reloads though. You may not get your gun replaced but you learned an important lesson.

[Sir Toast]

Sorry for your loss brother. LAX owes you a pistol. They'll find any excuse not to give you one though.

[Dinosaur Jr]

Errrrrrrrrrrk! Glad you're OK! Good luck to you.

I know it doesn't look good but bottom line is they sold me Bad reloads, even if it caused a squib load...it still damaged my pistol so the range need to be responsible

[pluke the 2]

SA will look at the barrel and know what caused it.

Good luck! I can only imagine how many times they've seen that scam!

Why why why do people use other people's reloads. I don't even use my bro-in-laws reloads and he is a competitive shooter. I just don't trust reloaded ammo I didn't reload myself.

Good luck with that. Do they require only those reloads on the range? If not, ten you chose to buy them and use them.

Unfortunately,,,,the Gun is " Basurra" I don't think SA will want to be involved,
( Not Their Fault ! )
Fortunately, You are okay and not damaged from the Blast !

Sorry, expensive lesson !

I'm sorry that happened to you. I will say that Springfield WILL know it was reloads. When I was at Glock Armorer training, he told us how they can determine reloads and what it looks like when its reloads.
It looked liked yours on the photos they showed us. They showed us a few firearms that blew up.
I always use factory loads because of warranty with gun manufactures and don't trust reloads from shops or ranges.
Just buy online for factory loads and purchase in bulk. Its alot cheaper and will always have some in stock.

Ya that's one of the first thing the range tells you, you need to use there ammo so I saw nothing wrong with that, just a dumb rookie mistake by assuming they were good rounds...I have shot quit a few reloads from the range with no problem...

[walmart_ar15]

And just to put this out there, I want to say that I daon't feel it was a squib because after a removed the weak rounds by hand I fired the Pistol many more times before that round Exploded in my handgun, it didn't happen after a weak round was fired...

I'm confused

How does above resulted in a squib?
