Was at the range with some friends today, and a friends glock 22 grenaded with some commercially reloaded .40. This brand is really popular up here for idpa and ipsc as well as plinking.
The trigger, mag release, and slide stop disintigrated, but were recovered amongst the rubble around the range. The head of the case was found about 20 yards downrange. Also, the top of the chamber took a chunk out of the ceiling. not to mention the slide coming off of the rail on one side, and the frame being completely warped in that area. 
*note* I'm not taking responsibility for the lead reloads in factory glock barrel in this shit storm. 
edit- his hand is alright, no cuts, but will probably be bruised soon. |

40 and reloads ?? Not really a glock problem. This is against the recommendations of manufacturer.
Not like other guns don't blow up as well. |

As much as I hate Glocks, that is most likely ammo related. Lead bullets and Glocks don't mix.

They should put "NO RELOADS" on the side of a glock, kind of like "REPLICA".
ETA typing reloads and glock, now my hand hurts
