Whether or not it was a squib load, and I agree with TomC, don't let it discourage you. Get right back up on the proverbial horse. I've had a squib load. I was fortunate that nothing except my pride was damaged. I'd be willing to bet that most that reload have made some sort of error at some point. First and foremost you were not hurt. Guns can be replaced.

You have only been reloading for a short time. Don't let one mishap take away something you enjoy.

FWIW I don't beleive it was a squib going from the way that you describe the events. I've never known of a squib with enough to cycle the slide.

I'll add an OUCH! glad you weren't hurt.
