I just got these pictures sent to me in an email. I am not sure if these are old or if they have been posted before.

The Email Read:

S&W .44 Mag Accident
A guy came into a police department the other day to ask a favor.
He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag.) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range.
He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new load and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash.
When the tweedy birds cleared, this is what he saw...








Bet he never uses Chinese made Ammo again!

WITH the nonsense about Chinese ammo?

I've seen these before. We had a similar instance at my gun club where The shooters friend was loading him ammo for his 44 magnum. His friend liked to "load em hot". To make a long story short he fired a round and the top of the revolver went. The shooter wasn't injured and was lucky since each lane in bulletproof, but he had his handgun forward of the dividers. I don't think anybody ever opened the walls to get the cylinder parts.

Likely a double charge or incorrect charge of fast powder. I don't think you could load enough 296 or H110 into the case to blow the gun up.
