Pull a bullet from a round, load the bulletless round into the chamber and then fire the round to clear the squib. Seems to have worked through not sure if it's the best way to do it.

You could build up enough pressure between the bullets to ring the barrel. Jack.Why would you take the bullet out, wouldn't the second bullet just push the first bullet out?
Wouldn't there be a significant change in pressure depending how far down the bullet was in the barrel?

It was a joke, I'm not cerealNO! That’s how you lose fingers (and firearms).

It’s not something I would ever attempt. But I think it’s a neat idea for those who may be stuck in some apocalyptic scenario or war zone where cleaning rods do not exist, and you get the dreaded squib round in the middle of a firefight, and happen to realize you have a squib before you send the next round into it and blow up your gun. I think in that scenario it’s a great idea.
I would be concerned about the pressure buildup before the bullet starts to accelerate leaving a slight bulge in a barrel. I have an Beretta 92 I bought new with a bulge I can feel, but not visible at a casual glance ... and no idea how I put it there.My logic says good chance it would work. Worse case bullet gets pushed down farther and doesn’t come out. I also think there’s nothing happening the firearm can’t handle psi wise. Your using a standard powder charge from the casing no extra bullet etc
So yes I’d try it if I found the need of it.
That, or start stacking bullets up, bulging barrels and making a mildly annoying problem into a horrifically bad one, lol.
It is the Christmas season. You don’t like bells??You could build up enough pressure between the bullets to ring the barrel. Jack.
I'll keep it in mind during the cleaning rod shortage of the next pandemic.It’s not something I would ever attempt.

THIS!!!this is just a terminally bad idea when a brass rod or something is a lot less complicated (and retarded).
I don't even understand how this is useful. If you can carry "blanks" to fire out stuck bullets then you can carry a
rod in your shooting kit, too.
You don't need a new barrel though lol. Just spend a few bucks on a squib rod. I actually just use an aluminum cleaning rod. It's helpful to pour/spray some oil/CLP on both sides of the bullet to aid in pushing it out.Hard pass.
A new glock barrel is far cheaper than hand surgery.
What if you load every other round in your magazine as a blank and that way if you get a squib it will self clear with the blank round, but you have to remember to load a snap cap cap first in case someone takes your firearm away from you, and never carry with a loaded chamberI don't even understand how this is useful.
