Bodyguard 38 was the only revolver I wore out. S&W said it was cheaper to replace than repair. Loved it till then.

Asked for a photo of the round with primer looking sideways as Garufa noted. He did not still have the round but noted it looked more like gas had escaped around the sides of the primer in two spots leaving a carbon trail That sounds consistent with the blow outs

I have experienced CCI Blazer ammo having primers back out under strong recoil. That was on aluminum case ammo in 45 and 357. Wonder if that is happening in the magazine as the weapon cycles then a round with a poorly seated primer gets chambered and fails ???

NO BURS

looks like it. i didnt inspect that round closely.

Posted here rather than ammo as it is possible the gun is at fault. Just can’t see how

Rock Island Armory 10mm 1911. My friend has exactly the same RIA 1911 as I do Have seen him shoot a couple hundred rounds of PMC and Magtech 180gr ammo with no problems On my advice, due to 19.95 per 50 round box price he purchased Blazer 180 gr as shown. In a single ¾ box he had four primer blowouts This is his pic so don’t have more to show I checked his 1911 and it does not seem to allow firing out of battery There are no signs of hard primer strikes or case bulging The weapon cycles great with other ammo So this is mostly a heads up for 10mm shooters looking for a bargain Sometimes you get what you pay for Also, I tried 8 rounds of that Blazer box out of my RIA 1911 but had no problems Spent cases on either weapon look normal, except for obvious primer blowouts outs Most had normal primer strikes Again, no case bulging. Also cycled live ammo through chambering and extraction cycle without firing and cases looked normal. I told him to contact cci/blazer before sending his 1911 in to RIA This only shows 3 rounds Fourth had identical blow out to top center case Again, just a buyer beware heads up

Agreed

Good evaluation, Erich

So much “click bait”. So little time training.

Many of the buying public are uninformed and inexperienced with weapon handling. Possibly they think a “new feature or gadget” will automatically make them shoot well. Often that is not the case. It takes training and practice Glitz sells

Like so many wild claims; the truth comes down to Operator Error

1- Yea people do lie to cover their arse, or hole n the leg 2- SIG is a big corporation which some see as a cash cow 3- Have shot P320/365 in IDPA. Only AD’s I ever saw on any gun were from people who had finger on the trigger when they shouldn’t have. That meant a DQ from the match and possibly future matches as well 4- If my career were on the line as a Leo , might cook up an excuse to stay employed. That is just being human.

Never liked how a scope changed the balance on a lever gun. That said, quality peep sights are sometimes hard to find.

If you want pan and tilt, that feature is not as popular as a ball head. They work quite differently. Would not want a ball head for a twenty pound load
