The idiot is me. I've never done anything this stupid in all my years of shooting. I found nothing in the search function to answer my question. Believe me I looked.
I get to the range and I've got 2 45's and a .40 cal. I promptly load up a mag for my Colt 1991 45 with 40 cal and rack one into the chamber with no problems. I fire but the round doesn't eject (The bullet was only a couple of inches off target) I operate the slide and the round ejects and loads another round into the chamber. I fire again. It doesn't eject. I then immedietly realized what I had done.
I stripped the 1991 and found no obvious signs of damage to the barrel. No signs of cracks. The casing on the 2nd round of .40 cal split but didn't get struck.
My question for the gunsmiths, what are the chances of damaging the barrel? Should I have it checked or just order another barrel? Is it probably fine?
Thank you.
