No response necessary ...

[Furncliff]

I had my first squib yesterday. I'm glad for one thing, it was in a revolver and the cylinder was jammed. Now that I know what a squib sounds like I will be less likely to try to pull the trigger again.:banghead:

No response necessary... When I was down at my home range with the S&W in my hand thinking "Oh man What did I do NOW", my second thought was............... THR. I did a search and came up with a technique that cleared the squib, no sweat.

Thank you to all the great folks here who are generous with their knowledge.




(The squib was totally my fault.)

gee... It looks so lonely with no responses.



(wait, I just changed that!)

This happened to me years ago as well and it kinda scared me. Then I changed my powder charging procedure and that mistake (no powder in case) should never happen again.

As is usually reccomended, I now charge all cases in a loading block and inspect under a light for uniform powder charge.

I'm glad there were no bad results with your squib. I had one in a semi-auto 9mm and the action didn't cycle and the case was hard to eject by hand. It's the only one i've had but any time my gun doesn't cycle it gets looked at very close before I shoot another one.

My first squib was in a savage 99 in 250 sav caliber. It was my first time shooting at a range & after about 10 rnds, I fired & the rifle didn't kick, I stopped & said to dad "this dang gun messed up" He check & sure enough the barrel was blocked by the bullet about 1/2 way down the barrel. Glad I was a dumb kid paying attention for once. My kids shoot that rifle now.

The best squib is the one that you catch.

I have never had a squib but I had a primer come apart on me a few weeks ago.
