RIP GLOCK 20: I Had a Kaboom - The Truth About Guns
First off, this guy is pretty dang lucky he didn't lose a digit or two, but here's an interesting account (w/ pics) of a Glock 20 having a catastrophic failure.
It broke the frame, and cracked the mag all the may down to the base plate.
After a further review, it appears the cause was due to a slightly irregular projectile in a factory loaded 10mm round from Underwood.
It sounds like they stepped up big time to make things right for the owner and took steps to ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Overall seems like pretty much the best possible response.
