M&P45c Kaboom

"Do NOT use your damn handloads in MY gun.
My dad and I swapped guns and he used a load from his new press in my gun.
My M&P45c was a month and a half old.
Rest in pieces.
And yes, my dad is OK. Somehow."

Is that an overpressure or is it a squib load with one behind it?

PS glad your Dad is OK.

That one looks like it could have easily been a finger shredder

Glad he is ok.

Thank goodness no one was hurt, thats the main thing.
You can always get another gun.... hard to replace the body though.
Saw a 1911 let go like that many years ago, driver was not so lucky, needed a bunch of stitches.
Sometimes when a gun lets go, any gun, it can be disastrous.

Jesus! That is some bad poo!!! Glad he didn't get hurt. Look at the bright side, he's gonna get you a new one and you get to break it in again

 

[IM_Lugger]

[Shooter1of38]

Holy cow. The barrel split from front to back!

Glad he is okay.

Try and push that through on warranty?!

That sucks dude. But at least the gun took the blast and not the hand/face. Good engineering or just blind luck, either way metal/polymer is replacable.

 

[Agent Law]

Polymer guns always seem to come apart in a way that spares the operator.

 

[stormbringer]

Am I the only one thinking that this was NOT the OP's gun?

 

[Curly1]

Glad everyone is ok!

 

[Euro]

3 words buddy! Super SUPER glue.

 

[JAGDMORDER]

Just a minor malfunction, duct tape er up and she will be good as new.
Glad the pops is o.k.

Kabooms seem to be attributed to Glocks only. I guess not.
Though Glocks seem to fair the best when they do "Kb!", I've seen some nasty 1911 and revolver pics.

 

[ottawaguy]

Its plastic, wont putting it in the dishwasher make it ok?

Glad everyone walked away.
