Hi Gerben,

I have seen and heard of guns coming unhinged. Jack O'Connor nearly lost his thumb when a sporterized 1903 Springfield slam-fired.

I was standing next to a shooter at the local range when the entire top half of his S&W Model 67 blew off. He was shooting Remington factory ammo. I got peppered with residue, but fortunately no schrapnel. He got some burns and a split trigger finger.

Thanks for your concern and the warnings, but I doubt that I will ever take the Red 9 out again, but just had to shoot it.

Thanks...

Ron
