jasmap Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm trying to understand how the ejector detonates a round in a properly designed/manufactured pistol. Try a search. There are tons of examples discussed on this forum. Yep. Look for one of my posts. I had it happen to me in March of last year. I had a nice little emergency room visit.

TerryO Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) OK, help me out. I'm not a certified RO but would like to know what should have been done in the following incident. Saturday we had a revolver shooter have a squib on his sixth round. The squib was stuck in the forcing cone and not allowing the cylinder to be opened. Should the squib have been cleared at the line or the gun bagged and taken away? BTW... just a side note that has no bearing on the above incident, it was factory ammo Winchester white box!

I don't think there are any safety issues associated with this situation. The round has been discharged , the gun is just disabled. I would just get the shooter to the safety area and borrow a rod.

George Jones Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don't think there are any safety issues associated with this situation. The round has been discharged , the gun is just disabled. I would just get the shooter to the safety area and borrow a rod. I hope that there would be prior confirmation that all rounds have indeed been discharged and that there are only six holes in that cylinder. Even so, the safety area may not be the right place. What happens when the gun gets unjammed and the brass is now in the gun at the safety table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only choice seems to bag it or clear it in the bay. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well I guess all's well that ends well. It was the shooters last shot of the match, he bagged it and took it home but it had me wondering what was the right thing to do. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 There is no magic answer... each requires thought, and perhaps a diff approach. To say X is how all should be handled is wrong. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
