    Glad your ok dude.

    Did the receiver notch shear clean off when the upper broke away? Pics look like it's missing.

    sounds like the "pop and no kick" drill sergeants brief you on before going to the range in basic. yeah I bet youll pull the charging handle back and observe next time you have a similar experience.

    WOW, that sucks!
    Glad everyone's ok.
    I had a squib round in my 9mm. Left a bullet in the barrel
    and I fired off the next round. Boom! Luckily the barrel
    didn't explode. Just buldged it out really bad and smacked
    my hands pretty good. Needless to say Remington paid for
    FNH to put in a new barrel and fix my gun.
    Now if I feel even the smallest strange feeling I stop and
    check the barrel. Kinda hard in your case when your running a training class though.

    Good ****ing thing, as it would've blown up in my hand.
    Same thing happened ( I say "happened" because it sounds better than "I did this same dumb-ass thing myself" )

    No bang, rack in another, still no bang, oh, slide's not in battery, wonder why? Maybe no powder in the last cartridge. Now, whenever I have a malfunction of any kind, I STOP. Figure out what happened and mystery being solved, proceed. This violates the "fight how you train and train how you fight" dictum but I'm a lot more likely to blow up a gun on the range than loose a gunfight because I stopped fighting to solve a malfunction mystery.

    This goes quadruple for reloaded ammo.
