    2nd gen s&w 10mm's will probably handle 50,000psi or so without detonating in your hand... they're made out of chunks of solid steel. If the pressure were any higher, I'm thinking maybe a howitzer? Damned if I know. I reload a bit of 10mm, and with a 300gr pill you're going to be real tight on space for a charge if you keep the OAL down to something that is going to feed thru a semi auto.

    You mean 3rd gen (I'm a big fan of 3rd gens).

    I had a 1006, awesome gun, built like a battleship. Big fun at evening shoots - full house loads with Blue Dot made giant balls of flame. Everyone wanted to shoot that beast. Not much use for that monster though. Sold it and made some good $$$..

    Yep. My mistake. I have a shitload of mags for those. I found a pawn shop in Alabama that was sitting on a pile of new old stock ~10 years ago and bought 20 for $20/ea. Last I checked they were going for about $100/ea.

    I thought this thread was about offing yourself with a rental gun, not custom builds and loads. Tech talk regardless amirite?
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Perhaps if more guns exploded in people's hands people wouldn't be so fascinated with them.

    I’ve responded to two vehicle wrecks that was the result of the drivers offing themselves while driving down the road, Never understood why they didn’t pull over first

    The option for those who plain old fashioned suicide wasn't selfish enough?

    Many years ago I saw someone jump out in front of a London tube train... that was pretty unpleasant.

    Some woman in Vermont did that a couple years back. Crossed Interstate lanes for added speed.

    I had a friend in college who pulled over one New Year's Eve to help someone who appeared broken down on the shoulder of the highway. Dude shot him for no apparent reason then drove off.. Found the shooter down the road dead in his car. He was sitting there contemplating suicide when my friend walked up and asked him if he needed help I guess.

    I had a good friend who committed suicide at a gun range. Used his own weapon and went out there early in the morning before they opened. I suppose he just chose that location because no one would be alarmed to hear gunfire there. It's been about a year and a half. Really miss that guy. He was a class act. Outside of terminal illness, there is just no way I can get my head around suicide.

    don't get all Canadian on them, the gun range suicide happens here too, I can think of two possibly three in Calgary in the last 10 years.

    The only difference is the Canadians apologized first.

    Of course it was Calgary.
    Actually I have always wanted to visit. Vancouver seems too wet. (I have arthritis) and expensive.
    No longer stuck.
