slavex Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 So had a case blowout today, not a overcharge as near as we can tell, probably just a case reloaded too many times. only damage to the Stock II was the extractor launching about 3 ft right of me and burying itself 1/2 an inch into a railway tie wall. extractor is toast, although the claw is fine, the pin is obviously broken and the spring is gone. No damage to anything else, not even a mark on the feed ramp or slide. Didn't even feel much different than a normal shot, except for the gas venting out the side of the case.

sinnsyk Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Has happened to me and buddies of mine several times with 40 S&W "range brass". If you're shooting hot loads and shitty brass, the cases will separate from time to time and one of the typical consequences is that the extractor takes a dive. However, none of us has ever had any problems with it other than having to replace the extractor and probably wanting to clean the gun afterwards.. Moral is... use good brass when you're using fast powders. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 yeah it was a practice day, so no one was beside me. I imagine that would've ruined someones day for sure. Guess I'm gonna carry a couple spare extractors with me now. It was 9mm, 147gr bullets, not even hotloads. 131 PF is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) ... and maybe some band-aids to go along with those extractors! Edited February 26, 2008 by CHRIS KEEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
