If you think this round blew up out of battery, then I ask you this. Just how darn little is the lock up margin for a Luger. Like I said, that blow hole in the casing is right at where the casing should be during full luck up. After the gun blew up the first thing I noticed was the casing was stilll fully seated in the chamber, never moved back. I had to beat in out with a rod.

BTW, I have HAD a pistol round blow up out of battery in another handgun on my. I still have the scar in my chin to show for it. And like Hakan Spuhr said, the casing WILL blow all to hell in a out of battery firing. I still have all the pieces of brass the doctor picked out of my chin.
