Yes. He used handloads that turned out to be faulty. The first bullet got stuck in the barrel, the second also, being stopped by the first one.

Lucky for him that he used way too light loads or he would have blown the toggle and the firing pin (and possibly himself) to the next world as well.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">If I were you, I'd take a really close look at the frame, the slide and the toggle to make sure that they are not microscopically cracked.

We use to magnaflux automotive engines to check for these hidden cracks.

Gee, that sounds like a real mess to me.

P.S. The next time I want to shoot a cap gun, I'll get in touch with you for the former owner's name!! Ha!!
