I will Try to make this short and to the point.
I had shot a few hundred rounds in a number of guns today [:p].
I had 2 38s on the table. TAURUS CIA 850 AND A SW MOD 10 snub.
Taurus is a 5 shot and the SW is a 6. I loaded the smith just after I shot the Taurus, pointed the gun at the target and pop was all I heard,
(MY FINGER WAS FASTER THEN MY BRAIN) [:0][B)]
I pulled the trigger again................[B)]
CLICK no bang or pop just click, then my brain kicks in, crap check the barrel.[:0][:I]
yes there was a slug stuck and almost to the end of the barrel [:0].
For some reason I only put 5 rounds in the smith. This has never happen.
I load them full unless I only have a few left out of a box.
i do feel a greater power then i was watching over me,[^]
What are the odds [?].
5 rounds in a 6 shooter
empty chamber in the right place at the right time.
brain decided to start working again before the next pull.
say what you will,,,,, i posted my mistake[:(]

Somebody upstairs likes you.
THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING[:)]
Don't waste your money on a lottery ticket! You just won!!
No seriously about the last line, I have respect for a man who is confident enough to admit when he makes a mistake. Its a rare breed anymore. People who will admit it, and even more so for ones who will take responsiblity for it when they do.
P.S. I'm glad things worked out for you. We need ya around.
I felt this needed to be told as it can probable happen to anyone anytime.
i still have not come to peace with myself for missing the first sign of a bad round .[B)]
i hope it's not a getting old thing.[:(]
