I have shot thousands of rounds of their ammo, as have several members of my church safety team with whom I shoot 2-3x times per month... never a squib yet, but I too would be interested in knowing what FM says about it, if they're contacted.

Flatiron? Do you have a sticker on the back of your car?

I want in on a church safety team. Shooting for God has to be better than shooting for Uncle Sam. It gives a whole new meaning to What Would Jesus Carry, 9 or 45?

I go to a smaller church and on a good week there might be one other concealed carrier in the pews.

Be safe.

Jesus obviously carries 9mm. His shot placement is infallible, so it's all about magazine capacity for multiple attackers at that point.

Hey guys,
So yesterday I was up in Pawnee National Grasslands shooting when I encountered my first and hopefully last squib load.
Has anyone else ever had a squib load while at the range shooting? I got lucky that the bullet was not to far down the barrel and it prevented me from fully chambering another round. My dumb ass thought it was just a failure to fire, I learned a lesson for sure.

This happened to me twice on the same day. I had 1500 rounds of reloads, we had shot about 900 rounds and then the first squib happened, didn't think to much about it and I treated it like any other malfunction, to get my gun back In the fight. After I looked, tap, racked and the round wouldn't go bang I canted my glock almost 80 degrees and noticed the barrel was 1.5mm out of battery. I disassembled my glock and found a squib not too far into the barrel but nothing too crazy to scare me, so I dropped in my replacement barrel and keep shooting. With in the next 100 rounds I had the same problem happen again. Overall, I finished shooting the reloads and didn't have any other issues but now I don't shoot reloads and if I was shooting reloads I will not practice malfunction drills.
Glad everything worked out for you.

Jesus carries multiple cheeks. Complete forgiveness requires lots of turning.

He has a Heavenly Host to deal with Satan's Legions. No real need for small arms when you can rely on the Arm of the Lord in this type of warfare.

I know I'm not the only one at my church. The other person that I know usually sits on the other side, so between the two of us, we have pretty good odds.
