Surprisingly enough, many people (for example on Gunboards) still insist that it's safe to shoot Tok ammo in a Broomhandle. Same people probably shoot +P in their Lugers. When somebody says "I have been doing it for years and my gun still works just fine", I usually reply "My neighbor had been smoking crack for years and he's still alive".
By the way, I saw three Broomhandles with that kind of damage for sale at the Cool Springs show. When I pointed it out and asked the owners how they got that way, they looked like that proverbial deer in the headlights. I suspect they "had been doing it for years", and all of a sudden realized that it was time to sell...
