You guys need to start a "guns blow up in my hands" club. As long as you are okay, I guess it's funny. What happened, you reloading the same brass 500 times?

I had a case crack in my .45 (Wolf ammo, non-reloaded factory ammo) which caused me to have to bring it to the gunsmith to get it out. Initially, I thought I had a live round jammed halfway in the chamber

Another time, guy shooting next to me had his gun blow up nicely (also using factory ammo). A bad magazine allowed a round to feed improperly, the round wound up partially in the chamber and partially out the ejection port, and as the slide came forward the extractor slammed into the primer. Bam! Nobody was hurt, but the blast made a mess of his magazine.

Bottom line: no matter how improbable an event is, if you shoot thousands of rounds per year, improbable things WILL eventually happen

yep. I have put more rounds down range that I can estimate, and this was a first. Some people shoot even more and never have had a problem. I hope this isn't some kind of sign that quality control is lacking in the industry.

The extractor whacked the primer? Yikes! One more thing to add to the list of things to worry about. Back around ten thousand on the list though.
