OUCH!! David, glad to hear you're OK!! I saw the same thing happen here at our range about 4 years ago. The shooter was using low pressure factory shells made specifically for vintage guns. The gun let go, left barrel, right at the leading edge of the chamber. Nobody was hurt but the shooter had some powder burns (very minor) on the left side of his face. Another member of our squad had a small piece of shrapnel hit his forearm and stick there. Sadly the barrels were ruined, happily the squad was fine.
