Well, it happened to me. Always wear eye protection!!! I kept the round and have included the pictures. The round discharged out of battery, the projectile landed on the bench next to me. I mistakenly thought a stovepipe case set off the round on the top of the magazine. I put several hundred rounds through it since then as everything appeared fine.
It just happened today for the second time. This time it was the top round in the magazine and it went off sliding into battery. It appears that the bottom of the slide hit the primer. Has anyone seen anything like this? Is this a problem with the gun or with the ammo? If the gun, what you think is wrong with it? I don't want to even look at it without some dummy rounds.
This is a Rock Island 1911 in 9mm. I would guess that I've put over 2000 rounds through it. It has only had a handful of jams in the time shooting, and I seldom clean it. I only use metalform/springfield mags and it has run great till now.
