My only question is why would the owner of a LGS trust his wife's life with a POS $250 gun? You would think they'd only buy the best for themselves. Just sayin'.....

I don't know as much about guns as most of you, but I know one thing, I ain't buying off the wall, no name POS guns for just a couple hundred bucks that I would put my life on the line with!!!

Again, glad nobody was hurt.
Truth! If I owned a gun store and my wife was into shooting and carrying, she would be toting a SIG P238 in whatever finish she prefers. SCCY, or keltec, is for those with very little disposable income, they are made in FL which is great but there are so much better options out there...smh.

I carry a G19 and when too hot and in light clothing my M&P Bodyguard 380 is the perfect size "for me".

Man that is scary . I'm shocked no one was hurt . It looks like it was made of pot metal . :eek:

Yup, standing right next to him when it exploded. Nothing out of the ordinary in way of report,

Wow, if that was shot right handed.... there would of been blood drawn!

Could that of been a possible squib round stuck in the barrel?

DrHenley 05-31-2016 05:27 PM
That's pretty weird how the barrel could split completely in half and stay relatively straight. The barrel had to be very brittle.

What's scary is that something like this is not usually isolated. Which means this won't be the only one.

Could you tell whether it failed from the front or rear? Most pictures of split barrels I've seen are curled out from the point of failure.

Now that I think about it, Sako had a bad batch of stainless barrels that split apart like that without curling out, especially in cold weather.

Our best guess was that it started at the breech.

well, at least it's a pretty shade of pink :p
