MEET AND SHOOT was pretty good, moderate attendance. Jedi will no doubt have 'official' numbers.
Worst thing that happened was getting a Jedi hug. I have now declared my body a JEDI FREE ZONE.
Shooting a stock Glock 19 with assorted factory FMJ ammo, mostly cheap import stuff and a few reloads mixed into the container too.
Had what I consider to be a Mini-KaBoom because the gun appears to be in tact.
The last round fired, but the gun was not in full battery so the bullet was not all the way into the chamber. Case head split off and expanding gasses exited down into the magazine, blowing the bottom of the magazine off and cracking it, ejecting the spring out the bottom of the gun. Hot gasses exited out the trigger and mag release areas and rushed past my fingers, causing NO burn but it was an odd uncomfortable sensation. Only after looking it over did I realize that what I had felt was the hot exhaust gasses rushing out around the trigger and mag release.
The case head of the cartridge separated from the sidewalls and fell away when I was inspecting the gun to see what the heck just happened. Case is stuck in the chamber, but I suspect it will extract pretty easily when I take the gun apart.
I see ZERO damage to the gun, except the magazine baseplate, which can be replaced.
Lonehoosier & KLB were standing there when it happened and they also took a quick look at the gun, perhaps they will have a bit of input. There was NO DRAMA, it was almost like a non-event. Oh, Jedi was there but as he is allergic to Glocks he only noticed the base plate fall out. Not sure if he realized anything else happened, but then again, we are talking about Jedi and nobody really knows where his mind is.
On the bright side, my 30 year old ultra-rare MC finished/one-of-a-kind Detonics MK VII 38Super ran flawlessly, which is what you'd expect from a Detonics compact 1911 pistol.
Also pulled out an early production Para "CARRY9" pistol. Its a 1911 style pistol with their proprietary LDA (Light Double Action) trigger system. I used to carry it all the time. Not sure why I stopped. I may start again. Its a super sweet pistol to carry and to shoot. Light weight, 9 shots of 9mm, and 1911 controls with an awesome trigger.

go KABOOM and are evil dangerous guns!!! My life was in danger as I was next to him on the other side of the bench when the 'clip' sprang it's spring. Melensdad put that horrible weapon on the bench to inspect the 'clip' and spring and I had to use my pen to push and point that GLOCK 
that stuff was yummy!
So I'll try and see if I can find 2 more big brooms and bring those smaller cheaper ones as well.
It was my first month this year and I'm a bit rusty in terms of getting everything organized plus my mind has been on the YOUTH DAY. 
I only did 10 rounds and that was enough to leave me bruised.
