From the Desk of John Rourke – August 31st, 2015

Ben Carson is gaining in the polls. I like it. I like that there are several candidates in the running that are NOT career politicians. For years people have said they wished a non-politician would run. Well – here we are.

Just picked up a Sawyer Mini Water Filter. Have heard many good things about this filter. High volume life and super portable and lightweight. Looking forward to testing and evaluating it.

FYI – went shooting Saturday with a friend and young son. We were shooting his 40S&W as well as my 9mm. He loaded his .40 with 3 9mm rounds and 2 .40 rds. Guess what happened…..

Wait for it….wait for it….

It fired!!!!

The mag was inserted when he handed it to me and I racked the slide. It stripped a 9mm round off the top of the magazine and placed it in the chamber. The firing pin lined up with center of the 9mm round and when I pulled the trigger it fired.

It did NOT cycle the slide and I could tell something was wrong as there was little recoil.

The gun functioned fine with the correct ammo.

Lessons to be learned here. Similar situation can happen with other calibers such as .22lr and .22 mag and 5.56 and .300 Blackout.

Be safe out there.
