S&W MP 9mm, firing out of battery... A 22 yo just shot himself.
A local boy just shot himself in the thigh last night. The story goes that a live round would not extract and that he had pulled the slide back and the next thing he knew he was shot.
The MP belonged to one of his friends and his friend took it apart and put it back together and couldn't make the first round eject, so he brought it to his buddy to look at.
The police investigated and kept the empty casing, which leads me to believe that maybe it did fire out of battery, the kid has a burn on his left hand from blow back.
What do you think? Could a S&W MP fire out of battery under any circumstances, including firing pin being installed wrong?
