    What have I done?

    Went to the range (indoor) last week with the .44 revolver.
    With 23gn fffg loaded, you pull the trigger and the world ends in a deafening roar, a blinding flash and a cloud of smoke.

    I fired several shots with no trouble and had just squeezed the trigger to send the fourth on its way when all the lights went out. All I could think of was "####, what the hell have I hit".

    The timing couldn't have been better and I thought I'd drilled through some wiring somewhere.

    It was a power cut though (phew).

    last chamber

    in the event the sh 1t had hit the fan you still had one full chamber so you could have taken the gentleman's way out ( climb out of the toilet window and deny all knowledge)
