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.

Wow! That is horrifying. Someone was more lucky than they deserved.
I had a sqib in a LCP a few months ago. The .380 just went *pff* and did not even twitch. It only made it about half way down that tiny barrel.

I've seen that photo also.
I believe it's in Phil Sharpe's old book Complete Guide to Handloading. He had hard words for the owner too. The guy's lucky to be alive.
