Although I have never had a squib load or a double-charge load personally, I have seen the results of both. I don't see how a squib load would have had enough energy to cycle the slide and every overload I've heard of has induced some physical damage to the shooter. Maybe your Kimber had some defect in the barrel since you didn't report any noticeable difference in the previous rounds fired.seadawg221 wrote:Now for the BAD NEWS.... I blew up my Kimber TLE! I never felt anything or seen anything! I had shot 4 or 5 rounds from that particular magazine and when I got ready to fire the next round nothing happened but the gun appaered to be jammed in some manner. I removed the magazine and was still not able to rack the slide so I turned it upside down and seen this....
Also, don't give up reloading based just on this because I believe that the worst damage to a Glock from an overload I heard of was from a factory load!
