Glad he's ok! And, man, is he tough... If that had happened to me early on in shooting, I'd be knitting!

I've had a 686 for years and have fired thousands of rounds out of it without nary the first issue, I agree with the others regarding neglect on the range's part and they certainly didn't act very professional afterwards.

Tsk tsk. Don't you know you are supposed to keep the muzzle pointed down range at all times?

I would agree with the other opinions I've read here: a neglected rental, likely never cleaned, possibly out of time, and very likely a squib bullet stuck in the bore.

I wouldn't condemn the S&W 686, however I WOULD condemn that range!!

Smith 19s are known to crack barrels at the forcing cones. I have a 19-3 and do not run heavy 357s in it. nothing heaver then 125 grain factory loadings or slightly reduced loading in 158 and up loadings. If I was shooting heavy loads I would go for the larger frames. When shooting a Smith I always check the forcing cone for problems when cleaning as even timing issues show up there 1st.

"Gun-Free Zones" are shooting ranges for the criminally insane.
