A cautionary tale about OAL:

It's important to note (as the article points out) that .40S&W is a factory "+P+" round, with very high pressures. The .45 ACP is much less at risk for these kinds of failures.

More important is the reminder to shoot your carry ammo regularly. Not to mention, the incident would have been avoided if the policy didn't require repeated loading and unloading. Lesson learned: keep your gun loaded!
