This was loaded in a G36 mag. I didn't notice it until I unloaded to rotate carry mags. I've read about KBs and wonder if this defect contributes to them. I cannot determine how much the case extends above the base of the bullet. My guess is about 1mm or so.

Holy shit, glad you cought it before you shot it. Not sure what would have happened but i'm sure it wouldn't be good

damn. plus dont glocks have an unsupported/non-fully supported chamber?  that couldve been pretty bad i would guess

Was that new, un-reloaded ammo? If so, call the manufacturer. How long has this been in your gun?

AS for safety... the problems with Glocks usually stem from the unsupported rear end of the bullet. This one probably would be OK to shoot, but **may** cause a FTE or FTF due to low pressure.

But I'm not a Glock guy so I may be FOS.

Stay safe.

Brand new loaded ammo purchased from CTD about 10 months ago - about $14/box25 IIRC. I carried it for about a month before noticing.

I did have a FTE at the range with this stuff.

I've switched to Gold Dots.

send that shit back.  and don't own a glock .40.  those things blow up with regular ammo that isn't messed up like yours.

Glock 36 is a .45

And I've not blown my Glock 22 up yet after 13 years.

Yeah I was going to reply to his extremely intelligent post but decided it wasn't worth my time.

That is a stinging re-affirmation of why factory ammunition should be individually inspected before loading into the magazine.  And people say they don't trust handloads!  Sorry, both are produced by humans, and both can contain defects.  I have suffered more factory ammo defects over the years than I have defects from my handloads, and numbers wise, that is a terrible thing to say about factory ammunition.

It probably would have worked just fine, though.  I doubt that you would have noticed anything different if you had fired it, if you did not get to see the ejected case.

Eddie Rickenbacker used to inspect each and every cartridge before he went on a flight.  Not a bad idea for any of us, nearly a century later.

Nothing would have happened.

Probably nothing would have happened other than a Bang and an ejected case.  But as was mentioned above, EVERY round you load into a magazine for self defense purposes should be inspected carefully.





Normally I'd spend a few minutes trying to correct some of the absolute and utter bullshit I read here, especially about Glocks and the so called "unsupported chamber", but I'm convinced that many of you would rather revel in your ignorance than learn the truth, so I'm not going to bother.  But I will say this.  If you know you're clueless about a subject, why not keep your fingers still and try to learn something instead of posting bullshit?  There's a lot of people here with lots of experience and knowledge, when the morons fill the threads with bullshit it's hardly worth the effort for those with real experience and knowledge to post.

 

well put.
