survivalshop Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Any one who carries should practice how to handle malfunctions . I will mix dummy rounds in magazines & make low powered loads to cause stove pipe FTE ,just to keep my wife & myself, handy as one can be with failures. It really pisses her off when I do that , cause she never knows when I will do it , if at all . Maybe that's why she likes her revolvers <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Squibs have no training regimen other than DON'T pull the trigger again. One of my fellow instructors has a collection of blasted apart pistols, from squibs and over zealous reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 For when you just don't care.... My buddy bought a replica .41 cal black powder pistol when we were 18. He loaded a light round and got the ball stuck in the barrel. What do a pair of 18 year olds do when they can't pound the squib out with a stick? Use a blow torch on that SOB, until the lead pours out the end!! It never looked the same again, but it fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
