"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

That looked really bad. I had a bullet lodged in the barrel of a .22 pistol and when I fired the next round it bulged the barrel so bad the slide wouldn't go back. Thankfully it didn't blow up. If I had been shooting slower maybe I would have noticed something was wrong.

I had a handful of "setup" rounds I had made in 357 that made it into the good stuff...had four different squib incidents. The most interesting one was Maggie was firing her 686- first round went off, second round sounded funny so everything stopped...the bullet had extended into the barrel but had not left the casing completely and the cylinder wouldn't turn, nor could you open it. After a little while of investigation and careful thought the only solution seemed to be to take a dowel and knock the bullet back into the casing to free up the cylinder.

NOT my idea of a cool thing to do to a loaded revolver, but it was the only thing I could think of. I did it very carefully, it worked fine, and we were able to go on shooting.  I found all the bad rounds, but that small flurry of incidents has made us very aware of the SOUND of each round fired. Anything odd, we stop immediately now.
