One last thing. When you start to shoot when it's cold, hot, rainy, miserable and you're shooting when no one else wants to, You'll find out that you start to shoot better than those other people. One time I had a chance to eat at a fast food place or buy ammo. I bought the ammo and skipped lunch.

On another note, a friend’s Glock went ka-boom on him this last weekend. He is fine, just a cut on his finger. It could have been much worse.

The post mortem on what happened looks to be a problem with the shell he was using. Somehow either the shell did not seat properly in the barrel, or it was weak from several firings ( he reloads, a Dillon also. ). The problem was not too much powder. He always slightly under loads the shells. He also went back and checked the others in the same batch, and they were all loaded to what he expected.

The shell had a nice square hole on the side near the rim, where it sits in the unsupported portion of the Glock barrel. The magazine was blown apart, the plastic portion of the trigger was shattered and blown out, and the receiver was slightly cracked.

Glock said they are going to fix it for around $50.
