HE didn't do it, he said the MALL NINJA did. Good thing nobody was hurt, kinda sad that he didn't recognize the difference when he was loading them - they DO look different (9mm Luger having a round rosed bullet and .40 S&W having a flat nose - not to mention the size difference!).

The primer puncture sure is interesting - thanks for sharing this post! :thumbsup:

So was he shooting ball (FMJs) or JHPs? I'm really glad he didn't have a BOOM experience, also nice that the pistol wasn't damaged...

The case pressures of the 40 S&W are about the same as the 9mm and most of the gases will blow right past the 9mm bullet because it is not fitting tight to the barrel.

That's where the problem arises. The 9mm could easily squib and when the next .40 goes down the pipe, that's when things get ugly.

Very true. Lucky for Marshall he had a FTE, so he HAD to check the chamber and extract the casing (hopefully he looked down the barrel too). If the casing ejected, but the 9mm squibbed, wowzers!! That would be a bad deal :shocked:

Mall Ninja?

A term used in forums to mean an unexperienced and enthusiastic weapon(usually a firearm)owner who pretends to be a seasoned operator. The phrase came about as a result of an over the top character in a famous satirical thread.
