Make note of the ammo lot # and keep it seperate ,it maybecome an issue. i've had factory ammo that would not chamber,so the fault could have been with a bad rd. ~~Chaser1

A factory round was the last round the pistol fired.

There is nothing to be avoided. My many loads for the 5.7x28 are safe, reliable and proven. The last 50 rounds fired were factory SS197. I have not and will post any detailed information that is not relavant to my initial post. When this is all said and done, PM me and I will share my load data with you.

Best of luck to you man.

He just did! From the looks of that picture I'd avoid the 5.7X28! grin

While I have not followed the Five Seven it is the first I had heard of them firing OOB. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

The Burris FF II was on the pistol since day one and the pistol operated fine up to this point.

It appears to still work. I have another on a PMR30. Maybe I can get an endorsement deal from Burris?

I was wondering what load he used because of another thread we saw not long ago with another blown 5.7. That guy was also using handloads. Handloads which are not listed in any of the loading data that I am aware of.
Is this the same guy ?
Was he using the same load or something like it ?
Did the handloads damage the gun to where it came apart, even if it didn't come apart with his handloads ?
How about the 30 rd., non stock magazine ? Can that affect the functioning of the gun ?
I'm suspicious of this whole post. He's quite willing to tell us about it, but not the loads used. In spite of the fact that he has already admited to using handloads and admited to firing something like 70 rds. in 5-7 mins.
On top of all this, he's posting this on the internet as he's claiming damages. E

Well, he's been posting here for some time. So if he became a member in 2009 in order to establish credibility once he unleashed his diabolical-exploding-handgun-get-rich-quick-plan, that would make him one calculating SOB. If that were the case, he may be better suited for the destruction of Superman, than marketing terrorism.

I think he has been very frank about the entire ordeal and has disclosed plenty of information about it. It is not unlikely that somebody may have advised him not to give any further technical information. If he doesn't feel comfortable posting anything more about it, I don't see the problem.

Do you have the link to the other blown 5.7? Because I really do still want one of these.

I know you have one E, and I know you like it. I don't think anybody is saying they are junk. Just that this one may have fired OOB and came un-[bleep]'-glued!

Did a case shear in half leaving the case neck in the chamber and the next round try to chamber, but fire out of battery?

I am not familiar with this pistol, but usually there is a block on the firing pin so that will not happen.

SKSs have slam fired with grease on the firing pin.

Amazing how people are are judgemental, assumptive and suspicious. I understand how the internet world we live has altered how we interact and in this case how many have false assumptions regarding my factual post. Based on your comments, you know more than I do about the incident and what I am doing. If your public questions/challenges are genuine, how about sending a PM with your questions??

Marty,

Eremicus continues to display an aggressive, pervasive ignorance no matter the forum. Normally his stupidity is contained on the Optics Forum where he makes value judgements about rifle scopes he's never held or looked through. Ignore his foolish, boorish behavior; he's a moron of the lowest order.
