I shoot quite a bit of competition, so I can't always wait to get home to remove squibs. Even if I'm out practicing, I want to get back in action, rather than wait to get home to deal with the problem. I have only ever had 3 or 4 squibs, but all came out quite easily using the squib tool sold by Revolver Supply. The Squib Tool - The Revolver Supply Company, LLC There may be others who sell this tool as well. This tool works on both pistols and revolvers. The part that goes in the barrel is a piece of brass rod. This tool also includes a piece of brass hex stock which acts as a hammer for pounding out the squib. It works quite well but is a little on the pricey side. I have several friends who purchase the brass rods from Brownell's and keep a hammer in their car for pounding out squibs. Neither my friends nor I have had much luck using a wood or aluminum rod to remove squibs.
