Bet you've never seen anything like this before! Me and 6 other ATV riders took a long 40 mile ride to the top of Packer John Mt. yesterday and after we had finished our lunch, I broke out my .45 LC Blackhawk and we began shooting at a boulder about 275 yards away. Things were going fine, everyone was laughing at the other guys when they touched off their first round of the 300 grainers at 1,300 fps. Then THIS happens! I've never, ever heard of this happening! Quite a suprise to all present. I was behind the guy who was shooting it and I thought he had dropped the gun because of the recoil. I guess the aluminum grip frame just wasn't made for these kind of loads, eh? So, now I have to get in touch with Ruger and see about buying another one. Too bad they don't make 'em out of steel. I might consider brass if they make them.
Anyway, one heck of a suprise for dang sure. Anyone ever hear of this happening before?
Holy out house mouse!

I've seen the result of double charges, but this one takes the cake! Here's a chance to get a fancy lightweight annodized titanium grip frame. I've never had any problems with any Ruger revolver and I don't belive my brothers have either. I know that I would get one of those "you won't believe this" phone calls, if they did.Hukk
