Larry1945, I am pleased that you were able to retrieve that live round without a tragedy. Your prudence and thoughtful actions are to be commended.

I have read the many comments about the poor quality of Freedom Ammunition in this tread. Fortunately, I have not encountered a bad round in the multiple-thousands of NEW 9mm, .40 and .45 ammunition that I have purchased from Freedom. All loaded, fired and ejected without failure. I do not attribute this good fortune to simply good luck.

I spend the extra money on NEW rather than re-manufactured ammo at a lesser cost. Why jeopardize myself or others for a few cents?

Thank you for posting this subject. It is both a refresher and a warning about the possible fatality when handling firearms.
