KingSnake Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 This is NOT how you want your Model 12 barrel to look. I believe it was the 3rd round. Suspected squib 2nd round. A very experienced, fast shooter. Afterwards said noticed 2nd round didn't seem right but didn't react quick enough to stop. Nobody hurt. Shotgun was first and shooter finished stage. I shoot my Model 12's pretty quick and I don't think I would've been able to react either. This is simply to show what can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingSnake Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I was at the loading table where I could see the shooter but not the firearm due to a stage front wall. First round sounded pretty normal, second round sounded different but not the phfffft you hear from a Cowboy squib, third round KABOOM. Anyone who has shot Cowboy for any length of time is familiar with the phffft from a rifle/revolver squib. This shotgun sound was nothing like that. I've been shooting shotguns for 55 years and I have never heard or seen a shotgun burst like this. Had I been the shooter yesterday, I probably would have shot the third round also as I didn't not recognize it as a squib. The takeaway for me is, if my shotgun round doesn't sound normal, declare malfunction and move on. KingSnake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August West Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thank goodness no one was hurt!!! That's some really good steel to 'rip' rather than fragment. It almost looks like the previous wad had lodged at the choke (assuming the barrel wasn't cut). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
