I need to ask a question but in doing so, will demonstrate extreme stupidity on my part. So, why not admit it and make it the subject of a topic?
The question is: will inadvertently firing two rounds of 9mm +p through a Sig 229 .40 injure the barrel/action/weapon/etc.? Yup. Not only is it possible for a 229 to fire the 9mm, it's possible for me to do it twice. I could say that the factory slipped one 9mm into a .40 box, but I don't think they'd do it twice. More than likely, I was loading my Glock 26 and 229 at roughly the same time at home, so a couple of rounds got mixed in. When it went off, I thought it was a squib load: minimal noise and recoil and the round didn't eject. I removed the casing, saw it had ruptured but didn't check the headstamp. I put the weapon aside, checked it for damage, but DIDN'T check the mag. I went back to the range and the second round was . . . you guessed it, another 9mm.
Since that time, I've put the ammunition in distinctly different places.
So that begs two questions: one, any damage (the barrel looks fine with no scarring or visible damage of any kind); and, two, any one else what to admit things like this?
