Bang Bang Bang POP

[socal147]

Was out shooting 9mm reloads thru my Glock 34, 23 ,27 this morning. Glock 34 killing the steel. Glock 23 shooting great until one of the cases got stuck in the barrel. Damn, left the aluminum rod at home. Oh well, loading the 27 with 23 magazines works just fine. Still killing steel ....Bang Bang Bang POP. I notice the silenced round and FTE. I pull the slide back and out comes the case. Hmmm, awful dark at the breech end of the barrel. SQUIB

How hard was it to remove the bullet?

At least you didnt get hurt

Suck city.

milw - I just use a aluminum cleaning rod that is about a foot long and tap back to the breech. Came out after about ten or so firm taps.

Static - Absolutely. This could have bit me in the butt if I had not paid attention to the POP. Another round could have chambered then it would have been Bang Bang Bang POP BOOM.

I dont know if its just me but that barrel looks warped.

I was going to ask if they were "purchased" reloads, but I just noticed who's thread this is, so I am assuming homegrown reloads?
Glad you noticed the POP too!

Yep Victor, it was me. Must had did a skip on the XL 650. Hate it when that happens.
Travis - it could be the result of using macro on the camera. Barrel is relatively straight.

How interesting. I encountered a squib round this morning at the range while shooting my .380 .Unlike your instance there was enough pop to register, but not cycle the action. As such I immediately went into "tactical mode" and ejected the mag whilst racking the slide . My mind threw a red flag before I inserted the mag, and sure enough -stuck .380 bullet not 1/2" from the breech.


I came a split second away from blowing my hand and my Beretta into pieces. Sometimes you can be too high speed and low drag for your own good.

Silver, Catching a Squib is always a good thing.

Squibs will not blow up a gun, however it can bulge the barrel. Most times the squib bullet stops the next round from going into full battery.

Pretty hard to miss powder drop on a 650 because it also bells the case and you wouldn't be able to put a bullet in. Most people get into trouble on auto indexing loaders when the primer fails to seat on a mil crimped case (1050's have swagers). What you do is to pull all the stations, put the partially processed cases in a box, and start the reloader all over again.

Not always.

My first squib round was courtesy of a 9mm Tula round.I did a tap-rack and thought hey,let's check the chamber first.That last shot felt uneven...click the slide lock..OH MAH GAWD....

The pistol loaded the next round without a moments hesitation.I could have easily blown up the gun and my hand.Note to self:bring top drawer ammo to my next tactical pistol class.

A couple years ago, a gunsmith here posted a thread that a guy brought a "broken" gun in to be looked at. The smith found FIVE bullets, yes, FIVE bullets stacked in the barrel!
The point of the smith's thread was this: If you hear something or feel something that does not seem right, check it out! Don't just keep pulling the trigger.

Still won't blow the gun up, it will bulge the barrel and may bulge the slide, but it will not blow it up. Kabooms are caused by double/triple charges or bullet setback. If the bullet moves back in the case even by .12" it can cause the pressure to almost double.

Does your 23 and 27 have 9mm conversion kits? I was just curious because the 23 and 27 are .40cal versions.
