bad news....

Hmmmm....I think I will now go admire my steel guns.

And yeah, I had a worthless, fatass aunt that I watched trash several lawn chairs. It wasn't a matter of "if" but rather "when".

Like a fat relative sitting on a lawn chair, it’s a question of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ there will be a catastrophic failure!!

good analogy

It happens all the time to all kinds of guns

That would make for a bad day.

Maybe the lock failed.

One out of how many LCRs have blown up? I think an LCR is less likely to blow up than the IL on an S&W is to engage.

I bet more people here have seen a pistol blow up than have seen a lock fail.

Never seen a pistol go high order, but have seen a number of M16's. Every one was due to shooter error/ammunition issues. Mostly soldiers in basic at Ft. Benning who didn't pay attention to their rifles an got a "Pop no Kick" failure an fired the next round. The worst was where the instructor was standing to right rear of the soldier firing. The rifle i.e. upper receiver came apart at the weld, striking the intructor on the left side of his face taking out his left eye, and breaking his cheek. The shooter wasn't even scratched.

One of my job's while at Ft. Benning was doing malfunction investigations of firearms and ammunition. I've seen everything from 120MM mortars to M9's that have had issues either with operator error, or suspect ammunition. Some were pretty ugly.
