Hello all,
Can anyone recollect / cite for me any incident(s) -- OR sources of information on same -- in which continuously reloaded .40 cases "ruptured" while being fired in a Glock?
(I'm not inquiring about KB's resulting from using cast or lead bullets.)
Over the past 9 to 12 months I clearly remember getting at least 3 such posts in which the writer either witnessed the "failure" +/or knew the shooter / gun's owner very well. (I believe the last I got was John Farnam but, for some reason, cannot bring up the DTI website this a.m.)
Anyway, this info is NOT being requested for any "this gun vs. that gun" topic but rather, for a friend and fellow IDPA shooter who's repeatedly reloading the same .40 cases for a G22.
He respects the concerns I expressed but, understandably, would like something more than just my "memory of hearing" about such incidents.
Thanks in advance for any reply (no flames, please) "THOR"
