The thing with the PC9, I don't apologize for. I had no indication the previous round hadn't fired normally. The revolver on the other hand was just stupid on my part.
I bought the Model 27 and couldn't wait to shoot it. I lived in a rural town and menioned to the gun shop owner that I was going to stop on the way home and shoot it. So, he gave me some of his cowboy action shooting handloads. So, having never fired the gun before, I loaded six rounds and began shooting at some piece of junk lying on the ground. I thought to myself, wow, these sights must be way off. I haven't hit it and I don't even see where I am hitting. After six rounds I tried to open the cylinder and it wouldn't open. I examined the gun to see what the problem was and noticed that a bullet was stuck inbetween the cylinder and the barrel.
I should have never fired someone elses handloads.
I am a pretty good pistol shooter and when I wasn't hitting the target or anything near the target I should have realized there was something wrong.

My bad.

From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
