Had my first KaFizz on the weekend. Took down a zip lock bag of reloaded 9mm to the range for a bit of practise. All way going along fine until, I pull the trigger and hear a click. First think I think of is I've got a squib load. Then I see gas escaping around the extractor area. I wait for about a minute thinking about how I am going to get the lead projectile out. First thing I do is drop the mag and hold on real tight.
After a good minute had passed I try and rack the slide. It is a little stiff and I am trying to work out in my head what happened. I give the slide a good racking and out comes a whole bullet. I pick it up and find that the primer had been installed backwards!!!!!!!.:banghead: Normally I store the ammo in plastic MTM boxes, primer up. But last time I had been reloading I ran out of boxes and started to use zip lock bags.
Bullet ended up in the misfires bin and I did a field strip on the 9mm to make sure all is well.
Lesson for the day.....Check EVERY (sometimes twice) bullet as I prime them. I am off to the gun store on the weekend to stock up on ammo boxes.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
