We don't want to get Dean Spier all riled up again.

Looks like he has a point in this case and there are pictures to back him up.



Is anyone willing to chamber and fire this round in their Glock?

So what do I do with it? Is there a proper legal way to dispose of it?

The proper way to dispose of bad ammo is to take the bullet in one pair of pliers and the brass casing in another pair. Twist and pull, dispose of the powder in the lawn or in toilet. Do whatever you like with the brass and bullet. At least it is proper enough for me. I don't believe their is much for legal considerations, you could probably just dump it in trash legally but that just seems a little irresponsible to me.

1. Not good on a spring loaded External extractor.

True on some guns, probably every 1911, but the manufactures suggest loading this way and give instructions in their manuals on how to do it. Beretta 92FS claims their open slide design is better because it allows easy loading directly into the chamber. Ruger gives instructions on how to load directly into the chamber, and they have a lifetime warranty on the P95 I doubt they would suggest a technique that would put undo where on their guns when they would have to repair it for free.

To tell the truth I have never found a reason to load a gun this way and it is a bad idea unless one knows the manufacturer actually recommends it. Not all guns are created equal.
