I just saw an American made gun survive 'proof'
A friend, and very experienced handloader just fired off a major overcharge in a Ruger revolver. This is one of the new ones, in 357.
He was shooting 38 special cases, had a squib, and several rounds later found the rest of the powder in another load.
The gun barked a bit... and we had to drive the case out of the cylinder. This was very difficult. It was ironed in tight.
He went home and weighed the rest of the 3,000 loads he had on hand (yes, 3,000). All suspect ones were disassembled. No overcharges found.
I suspect ANY American made pistol will survive this kind of torture, and any of the few shotguns made here are just as stout.
We don't seem to have a big problem with US made firearms blowing up.
