Wrong Caliber for the Pistol

[SKIP]

I found this 9MM at the AGC.
Must be a newbee.

WTF!

Yikes

I have somewhere 308 brass; except the head stamp is 243 Win. My guess is someone shot 243 in a 308. I bet it was none too accurate.

Needs more iodine in its diet.

That won't clean up in the tumbler.

Glock bulge

looks like it was too cold at the range... definitely cold enough to cause some shrinkage...

Guy was damned lucky.

I would have to agree!

It's a 9mm belted magnum. It's the latest thing

What the heck would that have even fit in? A 40?

Trying to imagine what would chamber it and allow the firing pin to set it off. I’d think the base diameter would have needed to be close enough for the extractor to hold it.

I've never seen one like that. I wonder if that was a lightly loaded 9mm that was fired in a .380 blowback chamber? You would think the disconnector would keep it from firing but some blowbacks I have had will allow the hammer to fall almost a 1/4 of an inch from battery.

Sounds like sumptin this guy would do. Notice what happens with the .45 ACP

I've seen 9mm fired in a .40, it doesn't do that.

A 9mm in .40 will mushroom out at the mouth until it contacts and conforms to the chamber. Usually not 360 degrees around the mouth, only about 1/2 to 3/4 of the circumference, and the base is not damaged at all.


Could that be a 9mm in a .380 that fired out of battery?

This is what 9mm in a .40 would look like. I don't remember it being that much shorter, but maybe my memory is bad on that point.

This guy doesn't have a clue about powder burn rates.

If Wile E Coyote had a Youtube channel...

That and perhaps a few other things.
