trying not to hijack sigs thread, but they do it as well, steel vs plastic means absolutely nothing , i think it is safe to say these guns did not return to the range that day if at all

Please Don't tell Col. Cooper!
Always thought that design was flawed.....(it's there, the green font; ya just can't see it!)
They will all blow up,,,,,,,,,I'll take me chances with steel any day, thank you !!!!! [;)]
yes they could, and we must face that every bullet is a miniature pipe bomb every time we pull the trigger, most often just taking the path of lease resistance
i am not entirely convinced that this lil'bomb is safer wrapped in steel vs wrapped in plastic there is a reason why steel is used in bombs to begin with, to build even greater pressure
Pontificate all ya want,,,,,,,my money is on steel,,,,,,,[:0]
i gave an opinion and theory how is that pontification ?
edit: they use modern ceramic plates for bullet resistant vest vs steel, modern cars are composed of plastic surrounding steel for its crumble and break away properties all for good reason
I stupidly shot some friend's hand loads and bulged the cylinder on a 1917 Colt New Service in 45 Colt. He double charged a few with 16 grains of Unique. Found a cylinder for $50.
My F-i-L found this Marlin 336 in the woods while deer hunting. Not one piece of the gun is usable except the butt stock. Assuming a gross overload. Also assume the shooter suffered injuries and he simply dropped the ruined rifle and staggered off to find help.
Barrel blown at bottom of chamber, receiver cracked and warped, magazine and fore send blown off, a total loss.
Too old to live...too young to die...

In a hole,,,,,,,,,,stop digging,,,,,,[;)]
ya whatever [xx(]
you still avoided the question
Look up the definition,,,,,,,,,,that's the long and short of it.
already know what it means and it is an insult
Not to be rude, but anybody thinking that a "steel" gun will fair better in a situation such as the one that happened to me is fooling ones self in my opinion. Having 1st hand experience, I don't think I would have wanted to be holding a 1911 either. [:(]

This crap doesn't happen to 9mm's...seems pretty exclusive to .45cal 1911s![:0][:D][:o)]
Yeah, and rarely happens to Ford truck owners, only Dodge and Chevy.[}:)]
With all these Glocks and 1911's blowing up I'll stick to my HK's and Sigs. They never kaboom.[:D]
One of the pictures is of a Sig.
Looks like one may have been a P-Series Ruger.My regards to anybody that can blow one up.
Them things are tanks!
I don't think I see one in the pictures though.

The 9mm must not have enough power to blow itself up. [:D]
Similarly, I had an Oldsmobile 260 that during its time, it went 465k miles without any work inside. It was horribly slow the entire time I had it (from 119k on). It was in a Cutlass and was ultimately referred to as The Gutless. We concluded that the motor was so weak that it didn't have enough power to wear itself out.
Doc...
Clean up the marlin receiver and send it back for warranty repair along with a short note...
There is always the chance that they will replace it or offer you a rebate on a replacement...
Can't hurt.
Mike
Yeah, but isn't that kind of wrong?
plastic versus steel
.45 versus 9mm
Glock Versus 1911
SKS? Anyone have an SKS blow up?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
