Well I went to the range the other day and was running my 1911 and "pop" I experienced a squib load (for the uninitiated, a cartridge that didn't get any powder loaded, just primer) and the bullet lodged in the barrel.
My big concern with this is, this pistol is my primary carry gun, what would happen if that occurred when I needed to use my pistol? Well I, my wife, innocent bystander or whoever would be totally screwed.
The ammo was Magtech that is a couple years old, anybody else have this problem with Magtech?
This whole thing brought on headaches beyond the one squib load, now I cant trusts ANY store bought ammo and currently I am not set up to reload 45acp. The resolution (until I get set up to reload) is to weigh all the ammo that gets loaded, that way I am assured that each cartridge has a powder charge.
I am going to drop MagTech a line and see what they have to say about it.
