The swimming pool was cold. Frightened turtle syndrome.Shrinkage. It happens. Nothing to be ashamed of.
All the good comments are taken!
concealed means concealed, even for bullets.
WWB has NO quality control. I've seen lots of problem rounds in various calibers.
Hmm. I've probably shot 2500+ rounds of WWB 9mm through my Glock. Never once had an issue or a weird round.

An HK would fire that.
I had one WWB 9mm round where the case was crushed a bit as the bullet was seated. The shooter didn't notice, and loaded the round. It failed to go into battery. He tapped the slide in an attempt to chamber the round. This was a 240-lb offensive tackle, so his "tap" was substantial. I was called to the line to deal with the jam. He'd already removed the mag. No amount of pulling or pushing on the slide could produce any movement. I cleared it by resting the slide against a wooden table, carefully keeping the barrel clear and pointed in a safe direction. I slowly put my full body weight against the grip, and that amount of force moved the slide back and freed the round. No harm done.
I've taught and coached for years, including many cases of 9mm WWB. I've had gun parts break many times, and my share of ammunition failures, pierced primers, etc. Other than squibs, this was the only time a bad round rendered a gun un-shootable. I inspect my carry ammo more carefully now.
I should note that I've never found a problem like this in the high-end carry ammo. WWB is low-cost practice ammo, so I don't expect the same level of quality control that I expect for the high-end stuff.
