Shooting very mild loads (feels like a .38 +p or so) from a known, trusted source. Never a problem in the past with them.
Gun was clean. Only shot six before this happened: after firing the first shot of the second cylinder full, I couldn't pull the trigger again. The cylinder was stuck. I eventually forced it out, emptied the live rounds, but couldn't eject the brass that was stuck. I took the cylinder off and had to drive the brass out by dropping a screwdriver into it and hammering it out.
The brass did not even look jacked up. No bulges or anything like I have seen pictures of with overpressures. It might be a little warped, but I don't know if that was from me driving it out, or if it was already like that. Also the spent primer looked ruptured, but again, had to use some force to get the cylinder open, and the brass was what had it welded shut, forced as far back as it could go, so it could have been ripped in the process of forcing the cylinder open.
I don't know what could have happened. That round felt a little more potent, but didn't feel near as strong as even some factory loaded stuff I have shot, like normal stuff from walmart, much less double tap stuff or anything.
Any ideas?
