Got careless (but lucky)

I was out shooting with some friends, and we had eight guns between us, in seven different calibers. I grabbed the wrong box of ammo when loading up my 1911 and ended up filling the magazine with .40 S&W instead of .45 ACP. The first round was smack in the bullseye, but the gun failed to feed the next round (surprise, surprise).

I realized what had happened, and tapped the now-split .40 case out of the barrel. No harm done to me or to the gun, but it was a sobering reminder to pay attention.
