(3rd Update) Exploding Handgun

A surprising ending. I guess LAX just figured it was cheaper to replace than the potential liability and/or bad press.

Very "human" of them, or perhaps just a good business decision. Congrats!

i would get it back , glue it back together and turn it in at a buy back for 200$

Yea I am going to shoot all of my reman Freedom Munitions. Not even 100% sure about their new at this point.

Freedom has never been an issue for me reman or new. I've had 0 malfunctions with them on all my firearms and I've shot about 3000 rounds so far. Some say you can trust reman more because they've been fired once already, but it's your pick

Factory new ammo for me at this point on...but there is no guarantee they will all be good...I learned a valuable lesson without hurting myself...referring to a squib round

I had a squib from round of 45 acp FMJ Winchester white box a couple of years ago. That surprized the heck out of me. I think it could potentially happen with any ammo. The key is to be alert to the possibility, and not make the day even worse with a follow-up shot if a squib occurs.

This is actually pretty genius.

Happy to hear LAX range treated you so well. Speaks very highly of them.
