Yeah, it could not have possible been an overcharged cartridge......

Some on that forum had suggested it fired out of battery- I doubt it. Look at the remaining brass in the barrel- it looks like mashed the breech face. I'd guess a double load or case separation.. my first guess would be a double load.

I thought that only happened to glocks![[grenade]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/048.gif "Grenade [grenade]")
Nope, just to careless reloaders.

I've tried it and it is DA BOMB! Very nice grip, natural shooter and very accurate.
Hmmm... maybe I shoulda stole it???

Okay, I don't know a whole lot about this being a new gun owner.....Is this more likely to be an ammunition issue or could it be due to the polymer frame? Just curious
BTW...can someone tell me what "out of battery" is? Thanks

It's an ammo issue. Careless reloading of cartridges will do that to you.
The frame of a pistol does not contain the pressure of a firing cartridge, so it is impossible for it to fail due to cyclical fatigue.
What happened here is that the shooter accidentally either charged more powder than he should have or used the wrong kind of powder and the pressure generated in the chamber exceeded the cartridge's (and gun barrel's) safe working limit. The cartridge case ruptured and gasses went backwards into the action, shattering the frame and probably blowing out the bottom off the magazine.

When the slide of a pistol or bolt of a rifle or shotgun is not fully closed and locked into firing position.
