DA Blow Up!

Bountyhunter · 03-13-2011, 10:50 AM

Got these pics from 44's. The email says it was Chinese ammo, but I'm betting it was reloaded ammo. Might have been posted here in the past?

Ouch!

Glad I wasn't the one holding that when it went kaboom!

sheepdog · 03-13-2011, 01:42 PM

...damned lock did it...weakened the whole gun...blame it on the lock...

XLCH · 03-13-2011, 01:50 PM

Bet that ruined someone’s day

The e-mail said the guy had a pretty good gash in the head! Ouch is right!

anyone know the potential hoops and loops that someone has to jump thru getting anything out of an importer of ammo? Hear tell its tough enough just getting federal or remington to admit something........

SD .... It was one of those MIM parts gave out

sheepdog · 03-14-2011, 05:14 PM

...that's it..an MIM lockhole...

A song comes to mind as I sit here tired and overdue for bed:

Oh I wish I were a Ruger DA handgun
That is what I truly want to be
Cuz if I were a Ruger DA handgun
Everyone (but Snuffer) would be in love with me

Snuffy · 03-14-2011, 08:37 PM

I bet your right Shawn, as far as your so called song goes who cares, I haven't had any problems with Rugers DA. In single yes, should have done your home work.

Better one with a Hillary hole than a pre-lock!

Where did I post anything bad about a Ruger DA? Smiths to me are easier to work on, and are to me smoother action. I doubt a Blackhawk or a Redhawk would have taken the load that blew up that 29. But the Rugers at least the older ones would take more pressure than the Smiths ever could.

sheepdog · 03-16-2011, 08:45 PM

...AND it's berry berry important to be able to take a lotta pressure without blowing up...yes it is...

Here is some Ruger kaboom . The 1st one is a Redhawk the barrel broke off . It is not a Kaboom [ happens alot ]

There was a guy at the range where I work took a brand new Ruger Redhawk and blew it up with the first shot! Of course, his handloads where not to blame! At least that was his story and he stuck to it. Ruger offered another gun at their cost. Refused to re-emburse him, and I don't blame them. There is not too many guns made any stronger than a Redhawk, and to blow one up on the first shot is incredible. Consider all these guns get a cylinder full of proof loads before they leave the factory. So how hot you think this guys handload had to be to blow up the gun?!?!

Bountyhunter · 03-17-2011, 02:47 AM

Too hot.

NO..... we know what happened with the bad batch of Redhawk barrels. The wrong lube was put on barrels on Friday, dried out by Monday, barrels got over-torqued.

My reply was to, Gunman, and I stand by it. If the load blew up the Redhawk on the first shot, it was too hot.
