If I suspect a squib I shine a light(Streamlight Stylus Pro) from the muzzle to the breech. You do not have to see the light directly, it will light the breach face.If you don't see light, there is an obstruction. I do not look down the bore from the muzzle, that makes other folks at the range nervous.
Seeing that fine Smith and Wesson in pieces like that is very sad

lower than recommended minimum Bullseye powder. (The things that carpal tunnel-having folks do to keep shooting...) They crony'd out at around 112FPS (850 is standard ball), had to be held WAY high, and once I figured out where to aim: three holes at 50 yards was 2 1/2 bullets wide. If I pointed the barrel up before each shot, the powder would cover the flash hole and the bullet would fly. If not, it would get stuck. Sometimes they would cycle. I kept a wooden dowl in my box: drop the mag, verify chamber clear, close the slide and lock the safety on, drop the dowl down the bore and push the bullet back to the chamber. (The first two or three I visually checked the barrel, after that I just cleared and continued.)
