Match KABOOM

[HICKMAN]

Saw this over on the Enos forum, hope the dude is okay.

Think his gun held up, but looks like it scared the crap out of everyone.

Scary stuff

It's always a sad day after a kaboom

I thought that only happened to Glocks?



Seriously, glad the shooter was not hurt.

Looks like the slide is still functioning, the damage to the gun and the human both look minimal. I wonder what ammo he was shooting?

I haven't read the thread over on BE.com, but if I had to guess (1) he's shooting reloads (40 S&W) and (2) the bullet set back on a charge of fast powder. Lite the primer and then witness a steep pressure curve.

No, factory ammo kabooms are the only kind unique to glock.

It was not a Glock, what is this world coming to

Shooter did a good job, safety wise. That had to be a pants wetting experience, I know some folks that likely would have just dropped the gun and run the other direction.

That's what I would've done.

yeah, after seeing that cloud of smoke, I would have been looking for a deer laying on the ground, thinking I had fired my muzzleloader....

Good thing that WASN'T a Glock... he'd be missing both hands at the shoulders!

thousands of rounds shooting glocks over the years... maybe I should buy a lottery ticket huh?

This is going to a pointless threads with all the kool-aide drinkers and haters... just let the experience stand as it is.

Heck, you've probably just gotten used to the kabooms, so you don't notice them anymore.

that very well could be, maybe I'll be qualified tough enough to get a 1911 next year, then I could shoot with my eyes open!

Looks like some Bullseye powder smoke. Probably a double charged reload.
