I'm wondering if the shooter was being honest about the ammo manufacturer in the event a warranty issue came up.  Only the shooter and the smith that pried the round out know for sure.

Post from NHC Rep on another forum.

Quote from: NighthawkRep, post: 374690, member: 10844Based on what the customer had told us last night we agreed to replace the pistol at no charge.  The pistol was given to him by his wife for his birthday, he loved the pistol and told us it was the most accurate pistol he had.  Mark questioned him about the possibly of a squib load or an over charge and he told us to his knowledge everything  was normal.  We believe based on his knowledge he told us the truth.  Mark told him that we could not explain what happened based on his answer.  We would not disassemble his pistol, we would use it for a display piece.


This morning pictures and blog content started appearing online and at that point we decided to investigate further due to the photo's on the blog showing pictures of the pistol in a different condition than we received.  Our customer did not put these pictures online.  The pistol that we received had been pried and beat open.  The owner of the pistol said a gunsmith had done so to remove the spent case.  We did not receive the spent case when the pistol was returned.


When we broke the pistol down and examined the barrel, we saw clear evidence that a squib load caused the damage.  We have taken numerous photos to document these findings.


Last night we wanted to give the customer a response as soon as possible.  Mark agreed at that time to replace his pistol free of charge and we will stand by our word, but we wanted to present these facts.

Shadow, it's great to see you continuing to do these pull downs. 

Oh there was no damage.  I was joking about the "scars".

Only ruptured 10mm case I ever had was a PPU round that was double charged. 

How's it going, Shadow?!  The old threads are still here somewhere. 

Mainly 45s (all 1911s).  I also purchased a 9mm 1911 and got into the AR game. 

3 years, maybe?  No, I don't have another 10, but I still have scars from shooting the Swamp Fox ammo.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me the Fusions are available either way you want them, conventional or ramped and more/less fully supported.  Can anyone verify?

yes the buyer has the choice. The one I posted was the setup I chose. I would hazard to guess that most 10mm Fusion builds do have a ramped barrel.

Very nice CB. Hope she serves you well.

My bad, I'm sorry, It was another Deadguy...Deadandgone that I got that ammo from...LOL 
Your post threw me off and the link that was posted by 4949shooter was about that KB.

Glad you set me straight!   

LOL!!!  Yeah you have to watch out for us deadguys. Never know which one you are dealing with!

Shadow I've never had any gold dot 40S&W. the only ammo I shipped for pulling/testing was 2 rounds of SwampFox to....gosh I forgot his name but he posted the results at Glock Talk and it turned into a huge thread, and 10 rounds from the same box to Intercooler.

ETA:  it was Nick. Here is the thread.

Just so you guys know, the rounds you received from me previously came from the same box that D has now. You have already tested and/or pulled them.

Hey D.  You will be fine shooting it out of the guns you have.  I shot it out of a Kimber STII and zero issues with case bulges or anything like that.  Just hold on tight!!

That Hawk is sexy, D. Hope she shoots s good as she looks.

I picked up another M&P, this time a 9c to have something for my wife and new shooters to try out. It's my only non-1911 with the exception of a 357 snubbie and a Bersa 22. Of all the polymers I prefer the M&P line for sure.

Doubt I go the custom route again for another 10.
