While shooting at the gun range my pistol exploded.
I was firing at a target 10 yards away. I was using one clip loaded with five rounds. The first five rounds fired were okay. I reloaded the clip with another five rounds and the first four rounds were okay. I had 9 hits on the target. On the next round, there was a really loud explosion and very heavy recoil. My thumb and palm felt like they had been hit with a hammer. That’s when I noticed that the gun had exploded.
The barrel split in two and the slide, barrel and misc parts all left the gun, only the handle and clip was left in my hand.
There were 9 hits on the target, the 10th round missed.
I located as many parts as I could find as well as some of the spent brass known to be from my gun. One of the brass casings was split open and the primer was flattened, even the brass looked like it had been flattened. The primers and other brass casings were not flattened.
The pistol had a total of 75 rounds fired since new.
All of the rounds fired were from a Remington Mega Pack 250 round box. Box Data: R213/5B-MEGA, PKG 61500A-1, G58196567
