I had a really bad experience today. After around 95 rounds, my Glock 21 had a Kaboom. Really hurt my hands. Base of left thumb looks terrible. The top of my right index finger, near the knuckle is bruised and three minor cuts. Both hands were very painful for several minutes. The feeling gradually came back. I'm happy to report no serious, or permanent damage to my flesh.
The kaboom happened while shooting my reloads. From what I can see, the damage to my pistol is repairable. The magazine blew out and broke up. I found the mag tube, the follower and the base plate. The spring must be in orbit. I couldn't find it with the wife's help. And, a metal detector, and a magnet. The mag catch is split down the middle. It looks like these two pieces are the culprits that damaged my hands. The ejector may be bent? I know the ejector was funky looking, but I can't remember if it was bent to the extent it is now. The slide seems to be alright and the barrel is not bulged, nor ringed. I might see something when I clean it. Might be a day, or two?
After looking at the pictures, what do you think. Double charge, or it Fired Out of Battery?
