Glock blows up

[vintagearms]

100% ammo related as you can't say anything about an unsupported chamber due to having a KKM match barrel in it.

What bothers me is that the pics were obviously taken at a gun store.

Did the owner walk in to complain about how lousy Glock's are....that would be truly troublesome?

I don't think he complained about Glocks. The store sold him a new Glock 22 today so he must still like them.

Glad to hear it jcwatchdog.

Now let just hope we don't see an advertisement on CGF
for a "custom" G22 with oversized chamber

Is it fair to state that most kabooms came from .40 caliber?

And reloading.

I'd gladly put my money on this. This could have been any other gun.

Do you suppose Glock will warranty it?

This was shown to me in person at the shop I go to. The shooter apparently escaped uninjured and he gave the gun to the shop. The shooter did his own reloads. You can still see the next bullet being fed if you look close. The trigger is completely gone presumably blown somewhere and lost. ANd yes it is the harder to find fishgill :-( I believe it was a glock 22, but I was so shocked when I saw it I forgot to look

Two things I got from this, 1)don't do your own reloads unless you're careful and know what you're doing and 2) for all the crap glocks and polymer is given, they do a good job at holding up to a major malfuctions with minimal to no injury to the shooter. At least the engineering behind them is solid.

Glock warranties a lot of stuff, even if ammo related, so I would venture an educated guess and say yes. They may warranty it free of charge or charge him a couple hundred dollars. I've seen it both ways.

this is actually why I try to discourage people from reloading 40 - the pressure curve is more of a pressure spike & you can go from safe to catastrophic failure in no time flat.

Just in a Glock, or any 40S&W gun?

take out that live round that we can see...

and do a little biopsy on that 1 and any left in the magazine?

Granted it is a long shot but might tell all of us what went wrong.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... and HOW long have I been warning you?

There it is! It took 24 posts though

Technically not a Glock that blew up, an aftermarket barrel did. Bad thread.

Hell no, it's not their barrel.

[Carcassonne]

BTW that can be completely fixed.
