Extreme ammo failure today

Post by Oldbrass » Sat Apr 03, 2021 5:31 pm

Went shooting today with my ol pal Dave, he was shooting this factory ammo in his taurus 9mm and this happened. Took some doing to extract, he said it felt like a real load. Double powder charge maybe. His taurus was not damaged.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

that isn't a manufacture I'm familiar with .... checked Google and found a good number of complaints .... I agree with notifying them and strongly informing them that you are worried about the safety of using it

Wow. I hope he documents everything including receipts, saves the remaining rounds and packaging, contacts and complains to the manufacturer, and then contacts a lawyer. This is serious. Others might not be as lucky as he was.

Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely stay away from that manufacturer.
