The powder from two Remington .380 cartridges measured at 3.2 grains each. There was also not quite enough room in the cart for a double charge without compressing the powder. Pictures show the normal charge level, double charge level and power used.

Here is a link to a great video with more info on bad ammo and what can happen to a gun: https://youtu.be/mE4_E84qrx8 The barrel on this 1911 style pistol didn't do much better than the one on the LCP.

huntsman - I was not shooting hollow points that day. That's my carry ammo, I only shoot it twice a year. I use Dynamic Research Technologies, 85gr HP ammo. It does have a copper jacket. I don't pull the trigger if the gun is out of battery. I check for a shadow at the rear of the slide. In...

230rn- I checked the spent cartridges that came with both of my LCP's. Both primer hits are off center. It is due to the design of the gun. justice06rr- "I was using one clip"; flashback to my old M1 Garand days? peakbagger46- Flinching, yes! The first few times back at the range I had to keep...

For JohnKsa: Cropped the original picture to give a better view of the ends of the brass. One with the bad shell and one with the normal brass. None of the shells seem to have a dead center primer hit, or they may be distorted by the ejection process.

Will try to answer all the questions and provide more info. I am way luckier than anyone I know, I was in shock when I saw what was left in my hand. I don't want to go through that type of experience again. Ruger sent me a new pistol including the laser sight. They analyzed the parts and...

2014 SN 371295446 While shooting at the gun range my pistol exploded. I was firing at a target 10 yards away. I was using one clip loaded with five rounds. The first five rounds fired were okay. I reloaded the clip with another five rounds and the first four rounds were okay. I had 9 hits on...

I noticed that when I fired my LCP some of my shots were hitting below my aim point by as much as 1-1/2" at 30 feet. I have the 2014 production model. Not everyone will have this problem of course. My hands are extra large and I have a tough time getting two fingers on the gun grip. I also...

The LC9. I like the LCP but I wanted a 9mm and a little bigger gun to fit my hands.

Just got back from the firing range after firing my new LC9. I was a bit concerned after reading all the posts about firing and ejecting problems, not to mention a lot of other complaints about all sorts of things. I had no problems today with 50 rounds of PMC, 115gr, FMJ ammo. Reports of...

Steve - That torx screw is the main reason I did not want to do the "regular" trigger job. I almost broke my driver trying to get it out and decided that it was not worth the trouble. If I twisted the head off, it would be impossible for me to get out the remains. I don't have any info on how...

Neos Firing Pin Mod Here is a drawing of the mod to the firing pin. Make sure there is plenty of room left for the sear to engage the firing pin to prevent accidental firing of the gun.

Hexidismal, good catch. For some reason, I said "trigger" notch when I meant "firing pin" notch. Sorry for the confusion. I edited the original post to correct the error. It makes way more sense now. I took a picture of it, but the added material does not show up well, it is not obvious...

I purchased a new Beretta Neos last month and found that the trigger pull is as bad as has been discussed in this and other threads. It was a little stiff and heavy. The main issue I had was the long crunchy pull. When I looked at the rear of the gun and watched the firing pin, I could see it...
