I had just finished up doing some 50yd groups and switched to a dot torture drill at 21ft. On shot #29 I felt a sharp jolt in my hand and it felt like someone threw a bunch of sand in my face. I looked down at the gun and the chamber was split open and in multiple pieces. The slide would not operate due to the chamber being bent out of the cut-out. Dropped the mag top round was damaged and the feed lips looked a little beat. Looked down the barrel and it appears that a piece of the case tried to make its way through the rifling. I am 100 percent positive that this wasn’t an obstructed barrel (squib) then fresh round situation I saw the shot hit the paper before the kaboom. I’m guessing a double charge? This was remanufactured ammo from a company. I was wearing safety glasses and am very happy about that

I am not the 1st owner, by the previous owner’s account there may be up to 2 others in the chain of ownership. The ammo company wants documentation for the gun, I contacted Brazos they confirmed that the gun was there’s and it was sold in 2010 but that’s all they will say which I get, although I didn’t need the attitude I got from the person.
