Checking is painless. Not checking isn't.

Memorable quote of the week! Absolutely.

Shot the next one which went fine, but the slide locked HARD about halfway through its cycle. 45 mins of prying with Dad and I having not a clue, we got it to go into battery but that was it. Bersa confirmed what had transpired and I was frightened by what they told me could have resulted. Learned a hard lesson the somewhat easy way that day, and am now attentive to my shots as well as others. Glad you avoided that altogether, especially since (best case scenario) a new PM9 barrel is $150!!
New barrel cost aside, daughters are not replaceable.

Thats why I added "best case scenario".

I had a .45 ACP round (Tula white box) that was grossly set back straight from factory. I noticed it because when I opened the box that round was noticeably shorter then the other 49 rounds.

I obviously did not try to fire it (that would have been a guaranteed kaboom).

I don't think I will buy any more tula ammo. I still buy/use Brown Bear (Barnaul Machine-Tool Plant) but they only make 9mm pistol ammo (no .40 or .45).

I have only had one squib in my life, on a 40 cal sub compact M&P. The brand was wolf.
