Just a reminder about gun safety. At the range today with a buddy doing some plate shooting. He was firing a Kahr 9mm with old ammo that was being shot just to disose of it. Age was unknown, but it was factory ammo. After several hangfires, (pop,BANG) one popped but didn't ignite the powder. After waiting the 10 or so seconds with the muzzle downrange he racked the slide and another round chambered. I saw the empty case fall on the table with powder rolling out and yelled to stop him. Once he cleared the pistol the bullet was lodged in the bore about halfway between chamber and muzzle. This is a dangerous squib as it allowed the next round to chamber giving no indication of an obstructed bore. Firing would have no doubt destroyed the gun and most likely caused injuries to him or myself.
The point is please listen to your gun and pay attention to what is going on. Esapecially with old or surplus ammunition. This is a good lesson for me as I have only read about this until today.
Stay safe
