The unsupported chamber is not a crock. What it is, is a factor. All handgun chambers have to leave a small portion of the case wall unsupported. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to extract, and it wouldn't work with tolerances.

A double charge is gonna blow out a casing with any gun. With a weak/damaged casing or a slight overcharge, I think the glock will be more likely than others to let this happen, because there is less support for the casing. It's going to force the brass to support itself there.

Still, this is a very unprobable event, and is very likely worth the improvement in feeding reliability that glocks are known for.
