On shot #29 I felt a sharp jolt in my hand
This isn't metal fatigue - if it had been the recoil would have been normal or less, and he still would have gotten particles in his face. Where did the extra momentum come from if not from a double load??

A bargain "remanufactured" (whatever that means....) ammo dealer replacing a $2600 gun?? Hah!! Halle Berry will show up and make me her boy-toy before that happens.....

I've got a open gun from Bob and his quality is excellent. Clearly something was either wrong with the ammo(which is the strongest possibility) or someone did a barrel/link swap and did not know what they were doing.

I've personally handled and shot that exact pistol, it is a dang shame to see such a functional piece of art be blown up like that. I sure hope everything gets sorted out.

Okay, how do you pressure test a case without actually firing a calibrated load of some sort through it in a gun?? SAAMI pressure for a 40 S&W is 40,000 PSI, and you sure as hell can't get to that level with compressed air. Hydraulically you might be able to, but that would be one hideously expensive piece of equipment to build, and you certainly couldn't do a case more than every 5 seconds, which would be ruinously expensive. And if they are firing standard or proof loads, that DOUBLES the cost of the ammo because they have to load it TWICE to be able to sell it to you for LESS than factory ammo??? I smell BS here....

Not quite an apples to apples, but I had a para break the link once when I was chronographing some .45 loads. I thought that I had double charged and broken the gun. The recoil was really heavy and sharp. However, on checking, Velocity was right at 830 fps, and once I beat the piece open, found the broken barrel link, I figured out the problem.
