I was shooting Glock 17 and a sig p229 chambered in .40.
I was in a hurry, my reloads got mixed up on a target bench. I accidentally fed a lite loaded 9mm handloaded in my sig magizine.
I shot it. It felt like a very lite load or a squib. The case flared up around the case mouth.
The gun did not fully cycle. I don’t remember for certain this detail but I think the case even cleared and landed on the counter. The hammer certainly did drop back.
I checked the barrel immediately and I don’t see any bulges or even marks. I put a flash lite beam through it as well. The rifling looked clean and in normal shape. The gun cycled manually as normal.
I realize this was a horrible mistake. It’s taken me a few days to process this and want to ask my fellow shooters about it.
I fired a few more rounds and I actually finally had a decent group. My question is would you continue to fire this firearm as normal? Do I need to have a gun smith check it?
I usually prefer to stick to a system, but we had 3 shooters on a tiny lane. I intend to systematically avoid this in the future.
