I was at a range with my girlfriend and she encountered a squib load that looked like an FTE (Slide stuck open on a stovepipe). The gun recoiled and didn't eject the shell. She went to rack another round but I stopped her. It was a rental EAA Witness using the shitty range ammo they made us buy (in a plastic bag, no less). Sure enough, the barrel was plugged. It's the only squib I've ever encountered in almost 50 years of shooting. I've never been back to that range.

Your experience illustrates how deathly afraid I am now to even go target shooting, let alone defensive shooting training. I have seen the catastrophic results if a squib in a standard AR, and now I am fearful of firing mine. I'm tempted to check the barrel after every shot. Am I being over-reactive or do you think I have a legitimate basis for it? I don't even want to go shooting anymore.

I had a squib with factory .357 hornady XTP about 10 years ago. Was doing double tap drills and because I was pulling the trigger so fast i launched a full power 158 grain projectile into the one already stuck in the barrel. I remember feeling how weak the recoil was but was going so fast my brain didn't react. Blew out the entire left side of the barrel and shattered the cylinder. I was left with a terrible gash on my hand. I was shooting an old rossi 3 inch .357. I never reported it to hornady, but I should have. This was hornadys premium .357 hunting pistol ammo. Now I don't trust revolvers as much as semi autos. A semi auto will normally not cycle properly after a squib, giving you some kind of extra warning. But a revolver will just fire again. I was very lucky dispite my partial negligence in the situation. I still trust hornady ammo and carry it in my auto guns. But learned a very painful lesson. Don't ever rapid fire a revolver unless you have to.

Was using a progressive and there was no powder in 9mm.(not a Dillon and changed my procedure) But what happened was the primer was not enough to send the bullet down the barrel far enough to chamber next round. It was stuck in the barrel but unable to fire next round. Since them and since I am retired I measure every load and then immediately seat the projectile. Always did that with my hunting rounds now even down to 380 up to 338 laupua

In over fifty years of shooting I have encountered two squibs - one with reloads and one with factory ammo. When I experienced the first one I disassemble the pistol and took the barrel to the counter of the range I was shooting on. I asked the guy behind the counter for a rod, and he asked me why. I showed him the barrel, and he reached under the counter and pulled out a box that was maybe 8" X 10" X 4" that was full of blown barrels. So while you can go a long time and never experience a squib, they do happen. More frequently than you might think.

I had a squib some years ago. The bullet stuck in the barrel and I felt something off in the recoil being weaker than normal, so luckily I did not shoot another round. The pistol, an Astra A90 which is a clone of the Sig P226, had ejected the shell casing and cycled the slide fully, strangely enough. I had to very carefully push the bullet back through the barrel using a stick of wood, without any disassembly of the gun other than removing the magazine, and then put the mag back and fired again and it worked perfectly from then on! I was using commercially available reloaded rounds which certainly appeared very professionally remanufactured! Obviously they were not quite so good after all!

I am a new reloader and at first, I didn't want to admit that I created a squib load. It was a 44 magnum that I failed to put powder in. I fired it from my new Colt Anaconda. The primer ignited and pushed the bullet, lodging between the cylinder and the barrel. Fortunately, the cylinder would not advance after that, preventing me from firing another round. My lesson learned, always reload in steps. I now charge 50 rounds with powder as 1 step. Step 2 is to INSPECT every round for powder. Finally step 3 is to seat my bullets.

Just a thought, but once the barrel cracked, it opened up a place for pressure to escape. So, depending on where that squib was placed, the excess pressure was able to escape out the barrel, negating much of the added pressure. Maybe try a new barrel with standard 115 9mm. See of that changes anything.

As a handloader I did have a squib on some 10mm ammo a long time ago. The problem happened because my powder measure would sometimes bridge over with large flake type powder like Unique which is what I was using. WW-231 is a flattened ball type powder which always meters great so less attention needs to be given to the powder charge being thrown, but those large flake powders need EVERY case checked for proper charge level before seating the projectile or....sooner or later you are going to get a short charge and resulting squib.

When I was a Sheriff's Explorer, we were doing SWAT training in the kill house for CQB, The department issued gin was the Beretta 92F at the time and most of the SWAT guys carried Glocks, but some stuck with their Beretta because they were the High Risk Unit, which was a roving mini-SWAT team. One of the guys walked into the room and drew his Beretta, fired and the gun exploded in his hand. Broke 3 fingers, he lost a fingernail, and the magazine blew out so hard it chipped the tibia bone of his shin. His dity holster was leather and had a leather plug that went inside the barrel to keep the gun retained, but also stable. That plug came off and because it was so hot and humid in Florida, it got swollen in the barrel. So when he shot, boom. I was on the other side of the room playing a hostage and had a vest, face shield, helmet, ear protection and everything else on and it was so loud and violent, I thought they flashbanged us as a joke or hazing ritual.

After seeing multiple you tubers try to obstruct a barrel with things like concrete and jb weld I find it almost impossible that a piece of leather could cause that... Guns are meant to put holes in living animals, leather is made out of skin, therefore the bullet should push the leather out or simply put a hole through it. Not trying to offend you or call you a liar, but the odds of that happening seem so rediculously small. Could it also have been a case of dirt and debris being in the barrel as well as leather?

I've had two factory ammo squib loads. One ruined the barrel on a Thompson sub machinegun and the other ruined the barrel on an m11/9. Both ringed the barrel. Both were Winchester ammo.

I seen that happened with a Glock 44. 22LR pistol. It had pretty much a bulge in the barrel in the same place as that one did, maybe a little closer to the front of the slide

I think having a gun with a higher round count may have helped it survive. Looser tolerances between the bullet and barrel. It would be interesting to see what would happen to a brand new barrel.

Never experiensed it with factory rounds, but with hand loads one time with a 30-06. The bullet did clear the barrel. But it didn't hit paper. And you kind of hear and feel the difference. :)

Castle Rock CO. Purchased 1000 9mm rds, half had 0 powder causing bullets to stick halfway down the barrel. Reached out to the company and they were out of busines. Ended up separating all rounds and reloading.

4 out of my 5 squib loads were all factory and 3 of those were Winchester ammo

I had it happen to me last Sunday. I had a 5.7x28 blow up on my finger. I have a fracture by my first knuckle, a puncture wound from the brass, burns and nerve damage. I just cleared the squib today. It was right inside the chamber. I used a push rod to get it out.

I have heard of a squib load from a Sig Sauer 226 LDC. There it cracked the barrel and the slide.

The engineers did a good job with the barrel design. I would guess that the squib load was part of testing the design for a good level of safety.....Now try it with a charter arms bulldog in 44 special.

Love to see this video again but using a taurus g2c can compare cheaper version vs more expensive

Had a squib load bulge the barrel of my G23 during departmental quads. Had to replace the barrel, otherwise no damage. Rack tap boom.

All you managed to do for me was validate my preference for a glock 😂 the funny thing is I always hated them before I actually tried one. Now I really don't want to shoot any other pistol because it's just to easy to shoot well with a glock for me.

I had this happen with my ar15 pistol a few years ago when they were legal. I had pulled my 5.56 bcg and switched it with a 22 lr conversation kit… about 30 rounds in and that thing popped (luckily a 22lr ) scared the hell out of me for about 5 seconds. Pulled the bcg and ran a rod down it and sure enough I had a 22lr caked in carbon with another round behind it…. That thing got dirty quick! Be carful with those. It’s happened quite often over the years but doesn’t do much other than scare you… this is a 22lr not a bigger caliber

I blew up my G21 thirty years ago. Handloads. Peeled the feed ramp down and cracked the frame. Hand was numb for a few hours. This happened during rapid fire practice.

But these are kabooms not squib loads. That is a total different thing.

Out of the thousands of hand loads I've made I had one squib..it wasn't a bad powder charge it was a bad crimp that caused it. It was a.357sig. It was blatantly obvious something wasn't right and the pistol did eject the spent case.but it wouldn't seat another round in the chamber behind it. However it easily could have pushed it farther into the barrel and cause hell to unfold if I had just kept shooting..so just pay attention. if it doesn't sound and feel right stop and inspect..

My first squib was because I reloaded a cracked case and it was on the last round. A lot more smoke came out of the chamber than normal and I felt something was wrong. I looked in the chamber and saw the empty case. I had made a squib rod out of an oak dowel and pounded the crap out of it until it came out. The second was at an IDPA match and neither I nor the safety officer knew that I had a squib. I couldn’t get the next round to chamber, tapped the slide a couple of times with the heel of my hand and decided that was a bad idea. I went to the safety table and again used my squib rod. A word of advice. If you have one stuck in the barrel, it is easier to push it out the end of the barrel, not where it entered from.

Detroit police used to have a rash of Glocks blowing up, primarily because they were using practice ammo that was lead bullets and that is forbidden by glock within eight or nine rounds you can blow up a Glock with lead bullets. It wasn't long before that when 40 Smith had first come out and all black did to make a forty Smith was put a larger Barrel in a larger spring, into a 9 mm pistol, wasn't even designed for the heavier cartridge. And didn't actually design the firearm around the cartridge. But some of the early 40 Smith cartridges the inside dimensions of the combustion chamber of the round had the far rear of the combustion chamber cut out a little bit more than what would be normal. It was blowing out at the unsupported area of the Chamber of blowing up a lot of the Glocks, actually splitting the polymer frame. And almost all of them that I saw were being caused by one specific ammo manufacturer who is putting out some really questionable ammo that had real highs and lows of pressure in their ammo production there was another ammo producer that was doing pretty much the same thing actually a couple of others, and it was early in their production. That was about the same time that Winchester had started making some 9 mm ammo and the way they were dressing the punch for the flash hole in the ammo it was actually a slightly ConEd punch mechanism and as they would redress it they got to a point where instead of a .072 flash hole they were putting in a 092 flash hole and instead of igniting the powder there were detonating it. To a point where they were literally blowing up P35 brownings. The Army had several failures of the model 92s I remember training police officers when they transitioned into semiotics and I had to tell them to not buy the model 92s because a proper clearance drill you can hit the decocking lever and disable the firearm and that is never good in the middle of a gunfight. I've been teaching shooting since about 1970. And been studying ballistics ever since that time as well.
