    Default Help me identify this pistol

    ... that made the marks on this brass.

    9mm PMC brass, range pickups. I can "feel and see" a shoulder on this brass

    Primer indent is round. This brass has not been resized.

    Anyone have any idea?

    Not the gun. The reloading equipment. Check it out. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Class...der/733635.uts

    Thanks for the response but I highly doubt a loader would leave that type of shoulder on a 9mm case after being fired. The brass would expand to the chamber it was fired in removing the loader marks.

    I've picked up .45acp brass that looks the same way.

    Machine gun? I had a mac10 F/A that would bulge the brass like a guppy fish.

    Blowback guns are known for that. Especially when the slide is too light or the recoil spring is worn. ....it starts ejecting while the bullet is still in the barrel and pressures are still ramped up.

    Glocks use a striker to fire and the primers indents are not round.

    Thanks Bogey and knight... that makes sense. I was baffled by the brass markings

    I concur, blowback gun.

    I had a Tec-9 back in the day (it even worked reliably!) and it bulged the brass like that, I never bothered to try reloading it, but then 9mm was $5 a box...

    IIRC, my M12 did it to the .380 brass as well, but I never even bothered picking it up off the ground.
