I posted this at the end of another thread but I felt it should be in it's own so more people can see it.
I have been carrying Golden Sabers but I bought some Hornady XTP's to try. During the second clip on the fourth round in my LCP I heard a pop instead of a bang. The slide didn't cycle and I knew something wasn't right. The bullet tumbled, hit the paper target which was attached to a 1" thick wood board. The paper was slightly away from it in the center as it was taped top and bottom. The bullet went through the paper and bounced off the board and back out of the same hole. I called Hornady to give them the lot number and tell them what happened and I also called Midway USA where I purchased them. One in a 100 million squib load? Probably...but it did happen. I asked Hornady if they wanted a pic of the target but they didn't. They did say they have a laser type process which should have never let that happen. Just glad it wasn't the round I was carrying in the pipe!
Note: Technically not a squib as a squib doesn't exit the barrel.
