35 years ago, I was shooting a pistol at a range in Austin when the fellow beside me cut loose with a Ruguer Super Blackhawk 44mag. Pealed off the top strap, blew out the top chamber and the adjacent right chamber and the 7 1/2 inch barrel just fell out on the ground. Fortunately, I was on his left.
The guy was trying out his first handloads. I've been leary of standing shoulder to shoulder shooting with people I don't know ever since.
