[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 2656402, member: 27751"] We had a deputy's Glock blow up on the range, shooting Speer Lawman aluminum cased ammo. No injuries but it blew the grip apart and bulged the barrel (that's why Glock has an "unsupported chamber"). The box of ammo had several projectiles seated too deeply in the case. This was a .40 S&W so already a high pressure round. This was during the Obama ammo/gun shortage and Q/C was poor everywhere. Speer blamed the shipping company for "dropping" the cases of ammo, causing the bullets to be seated too deeply. Glock replaced the barrel and grip for a nominal fee. [/QUOTE]
