Experienced my first squib today on a brand new firearm (Glock 17 gen 5). I did not have 9mm on me (I usually shoot .45) so purchased remanufactured amo that my club had on hand. I won’t be doing that again!
After hearing the strange pop, I took the magazine out to find a bullet 1/2 through the barrel.The glock was brand new and I even ran a few through patches few the barrel before taking it to the range.
I was able to get the bullet out with a brass rod, punched piece of leather and vice. I assume this is the result of bad amo, but curious if anyone thinks it could be a barrel or gun issue given give it’s a brand new firearm. My guess is highly unlikely that this is a dud from Glock, but I did notice how jacked up the side of the bullet is. It’s also possible that’s just a byproduct of getting it out of the barrel (inside of the barrel looks fine, as I took my time).
At the end of the day, lesson learned; I will not be using remanufactured amo ever again.
Happy holidays all!
