Even though I only stayed for an hour, I had a great time. Thanks for the invite, Ben! :celebrate
And thanks to rpyne for letting me document my near "GLOCK kB" with his chrony. I load my own .40 S&W pretty light on my Dillon 550, an I am usually pretty careful not to mess up.
I had put 90 round downrange, when Mr. Pyne set up his chronograph. I asked him if I could check the speed of my relaods, and he happily agreed. I had 10 rounds left, and the first 8 rounds averaged about 850 feet per second.
The ninth round recoiled like Ben's .41 magnum, and laid down a speed of 1450 feet per second. :shock: Needless to say, the recoil alone nearly case me to sh!t myself. I looked down to see if I was missing any fingers, and to my surprise, my GLOCK 35 held together.
So I decided to put the tenth round downrange, and one of my Remington Golden Sabre's for good measure. The GLOCK still works fine. I am convinced that the only reason my gun didn't blow up, is because the double charged round just happened to be in a nickel plated case. I have a feeling that if that was just a regular piece of range pick up brass, that you would be seeing pictures of a dead GLOCK. :lol:
