We were going to shoot about 800 rounds at clay pigeons, reactive targets and old refrigerators.

I remember loading the 9c mag and thinking the last round was weird. It really took a lot of force to get it in the mag, then it didn't seat quite right. I thought maybe I was crushing the spring. I walked onto the range and after the first shot I smiled and thought this 9c has such a light recoil I just LOVE it!

But the next pull of the trigger was a click. I racked the slide and ejected the empty round. It fired and then click. This went on for the entire magazine with me thinking I must have a shell pinched in the bottom of the mag causing the follower to jam or something. Each round had to be hand ejected.

It wasn't until I went back to the bench that I realized I just shot 13 rounds of .380 from my 12 round 9mm magazine....
The .380 is called the 9mmKurz or short for a reason, a buddy tryed to load .40S&W in a 45acp magazine and wondered why they kept falling through???? He is very experience, after first couple it dawned on him? billy
