Squib load followed by a live round...

With a .45 you ought to hear the squib. Unless he was in rapid fire mode and had already pulled the trigger while going "Huh?"

Usually everybody who hears the < ploop > yells "CEASE FIRE!" at the top of their lungs.

Squib load followed by a live round...

I came a split second to having that same exact thing almost happen to me once with an old ruger. I thought I was just totally off the mark and missed the target completely. Praise God my friend next to me was smarter and had me check down the barrel. Saved me a trip to the hospital and probably my life.

How does a squib cycle the slide and chamber the next round?

I had a squib reload stick in my favorite 686 a couple of months ago. I looked up some information on getting it out of the barrel, and found one picture of a gun barrel that had been band sawed lengthwise that had like fifteen rounds piled up one behind the other (couldn't find it again, unfortunately). The barrel was of course destroyed, bulged, etc. It was enough to make you puke, that someone did that to a perfectly good gun, and that someone was that stupid.
