I went to the range today and loaded up a few mages with what I thought was 9x19.
My buddy got his new Walther PPQ and I had my new EAA Witness. I shot about 3 or 4 rounds of 380 in his PPQ and thought something was wrong with his pistol. It would fire but not cycle the slide.
I then shot about 3 or 4 rounds in my Witness. We both thought that it was a bad box of S&B 9mm.
My friend noticed that the ammo box said 9mm Browning and my heart almost popped out of my chest.
We loaded up 9x19 on both weapons, shot some more rounds, and they appeared to be undamaged. My buddy seemed not upset as I thought he would. I did only fire 3-4 rounds in the pistol. He let me shoot actual 9mm through his PPQ and I have to say that is one exceptional trigger. Great gun.
After doing some reading shooting 380 in a 9mm pistol probably won't damage the pistol All it appeared to do was not be able to cycle the slide back.
Moral of the story, make double sure to check your ammo boxes.
