That happened to me years ago with a 22 LR, didn't catch it and fired another round and ruptured the barrel.

Hope no serious injuries, I fear many of the massive amount of new gun owners are ill trained

Some guns are built better 'n others.

That was 40 years ago, took it to some Gun Smith shops and they wouldn't touch it? I sent it off to Remington for a new barrel 20 years ago. Seems strange you can buy AR /AM and shot gun barrels on line all day long now days, what gives?

I'm a strong believer and defender of 2ND Amendment, but if this is an individuals and not a proof gun. well they need Adult supervision until properly trained

Oh, I agree, 'they' are out there and they're allowed to vote. I don't know the story behind the photo.

I lost a Ruger Security Six 357Mag in a terrible boating accident that I loved to squeeze years ago.

Excellent choice, I'm sorry for your loss, but that could have been a death anchor in deep water, better you here making comments

It was heavy and didn't need sights, it was a point and squeeze tool, loved that tool!

By the way did you ever get your .22 back? ⁉️

Ow yea and put a scope on it. Still shoots great! It was a sad deal, my wife and I had ben married for two years and she bought it for me for Christmas, we were poor as Church mice, I used it for five years until the accident, it killed me, I cleaned, oiled the tool, put it up and never told her about what happened. About five years latter she asked me about it, I told her. We had just bought a home and had two young boys to raise on $ 8.00 an hour job, that was big money back then, just not enough to be spending money on stuff like gun repairs. Well things changed and I was able to get it repaired, that tool is my prized tool!

This happened to me once. Shooting an astra terminator 44 using aluminum cased rounds. Luckily I caught it before the next round. I don’t shoot aluminum cases anymore.
