blackdragon Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 cnemikeman, Is that the fired case that was in the chamber? Using Plated bullets? How many rounds through that barrel? Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Geez, Mike! Glad no one got hurt in that mess!!! Was that your toy or Patty's?? Inquiring minds are going to want to know - what bullet, powder, etc??? Looks like an obstructed bore type of issue from here, but what do I know??? The detonations I've seen (too much fast powder) usually don't leave the case whole, and have all left the front of the barrel intact.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Vanek Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Ouch! Glad that no one was hurt. I remember working on that gun a few years ago. Now it's history. Contact Glock and they (usually) will help a little on buying a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) It was Patty's Vanek trigger Glock..... squib round. Thankfully no one was hurt... Like a dumbass I took the powder sensor off the Dillon sometime back because I 'didn't need it'........ KKM barrel, 4.3 g of Titegroup, MG 180 bullets.... squib was stuck, other round did the kaboom. Time to spec out a new one, order some parts and get her back in action! This time I can improve any of the things she didn't like on this one.

Merlin Orr Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) As long as you or Patty did not lose any fingers..... Guns are replaceable. Keep your good attitude about the whole deal. Edited July 9, 2006 by Merlin Orr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwmiket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Dave...I actually don't think it cycled fully. Patty said she had a malfunction, so she did the 'tap/rack/bang' routine......... and that was the kaboom. She wears very secure earplugs and she can barely hear anything at all with them in..... so she didn't 'hear' the squib... only saw the malfunction. She grabbed up my gun and finished up the match ( that's my girl!) and is fine. Thing that sucks is we're taking the Max Michel class next weekend, and all of sudden find ourselves down a gun... and not just a gun, but a tricked out to suit her gun. I'm very thankful she wasn't hurt. Got a spare open gun to loan till we get another Glock built? LOL Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Got a spare open gun to loan till we get another Glock built? Heh heh... I can loan you my L-10 gun (SS .40), but I'm going to be using my Open gun that weekend, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Anny Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I just got my daughter a glock 17 yesterday. This worries me a little now. I've always heard good things about glocks now I'm not sure. I almost got my girl the XD 9 now I wish I had of. Thank God no one was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Anny, dont blame that on the glock. It would have been the same with a XD or any thing else for that matter.------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Don't sweat the Glock at all. In fact, it did it's job better than I had ever hoped. The fault lies totally with the ammo, not the gun. Glock will run solid forever, and if you are shooting factory ammo, even less to worry about. I love my Glocks! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Anny Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thank you, I shot that glock today and it is dead on. My husband reloads and we do shoot a lot of reload, but he always loads them on the low specks. I have not had any problems with his reloads in my steyr.
