Most kabooms I have ever heard of occurred in a .40 caliber gun.

Please feel free to correct me if this is not the case.


Sorry, the original post was about a .40. The Federal 147 referred to is a 9mm round. I am not aware of any 147 gr. .40 loadings that have ever been used by the FBI. My mistake in not specifying.

I am aware of guns blowing up in both 9 and .40. I wouldn't feel comfortable saying "Most" for either caliber. This is simply an admission of "I don't know".






No worries. Thank you. I thought you were referring to 9mm when you said 147. I wasn't aware of any factory load in .40 at 147.

Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
