A bunch of the guys from the rifle & pistol club here at Purdue spent the day yesterday down at a local public range, where (unlike our on-campus range) we can use centerfire weapons. As usual, the cool guns all get passed around and tried out by everyone. So one of the guys is in the process of putting a few mags through my M1927 Sistema. On the second-to-last shot, he pulls the trigger, the guns goes "BaBANG," and two cases come flying out. Yeek! 
I've heard of 1911s going full-auto, but never actually seen it happen! Fortunately, there were only two rounds lieft in the mag - as it was the second one went somewhere over the top of the berm. Needless to say, we packed the Sistema up right after that, and it's going to the gunsmith before it gets shot again. The last thing I want is for it to blow up firing out of battery.
I'm particularly surprised by this because the fire control parts in this guy are pretty new. I bought the gun used, but the hammer, sear, trigger, and beavertail are all Wilson Combat parts. Since purchase, I've put probably close to a thousand rounds through it, with only a handful of malfunctions (all the fault of some slightly underpowered handloads).
