I just came from looking around at the The Pasadena Gun center over in Pasadena, Texas. They emphasize that they do not allow Blazer ammunition on their range. Not because Blazer is cheap garbage that they don't want to clean up along with the good extra brass. But rather because of the picture below. I took a picture of this with my cell phone camera.
That is a S&W Chief's Special/M36 blown to bits with the cylinder in about three pieces.
According to the range men, that is not the work of +P+, handloads, or even +P but standard .38 Special LRN by CCI Blazer in aluminum cases. The claim is that the aluminum cases aren't always strong enough and will blow up when fired and blow the gun up along with it.
