Is this only an issue with the .40? I have never heard of a G26, G19, or G17 kaboom

*sigh of relief* - The only .40 I own is a Beretta and surely those don't kaboom..... right? :tongue:
As the late, great Gale McMillan once posted on The Firing Line before his untimely passing, " "If you're shooting lead through a polygonal rifled barrel and haven't had any problems, just be patient".
.40's are the #1 culprit followed by the .45 ACP Glocks. The .40's are by far the biggest problem given the cartridge is already a high pressure round. All it takes is a little lead fouling in the throat of a chamber that causes a pressure spike or a little too much powder and boom... the case head lets go and the gun explodes in the shooters hand.Quote:
