Admin Edit-
Numerous times in the last few years, a new member has showed up with a catastrophic failure and has been engaged by one or more posters with statements questioning their veracity and/or just being downright insulting.
That is beneath the level of this board.
The new guy gets the benefit of the doubt.
If we err, we shall err on the side of courtesy.
If the story begins to look incredible or meant to be disruptive, report it and we'll handle it. Till then, extend common courtesy to the poster with a problem.
I don't recommend being the next guy that needs this admonition.

the original post-
This 29 was new, and had less than 400 rounds through it. After the third round i noticed the barrel wasnt pointing the same way as the gun. When i was able to get the drum open, i saw the barrel and frame were cracked, as well as the barrel being blown out of the frame a bit. Glad it wasnt worse, no one was injured during this failure.
