I was shooting my Ruger SR22 today and had a large puff of smoke and a stinging on my thumbs.

No injury thankfully. I don't think the gun even cares since i examined it and then fired the remaining 6 rounds in the magazine with no issue other than a dud round. The magazine didn't blow out of the gun or anything like I've seen with higher powered cartridges.

I was shooting a mixed batch of 22 but the particular round was a Winchester super X.

I'm not sure if it was an over charged round or the gun was out of battery.

It was definitely a show stopper as i needed pliers to remove the casing from the gun.
