wow, I hope that no injuries resulted from this. Is there a story to go with it? If one of my plastic babies ever blows up and it does not kill me....it will be a great excuse to buy another one

I'll confess, it's my G35. This happened almost 6 years ago, back when Glock 40's first started Kb'in. CCV and I were talking about it at the range this morning and I don't have a link for photos so he posted it for me.
I was using 180 gr bullets and I am sure that bullet setback was the issue. No major damage to the body, just a sore hand and slight cut on the thumb. I post this from time to time to get the most important message out -- a range officer was standing behind me and took a direct fragment hit on his safety glasses. No injury but if he had not been wearing glasses he probably would have lost an eye. Wear those glasses folks!!!

The last time I checked they were replacing kb'd Glocks for $350.00 and you could choose which model you wanted. The price was $300 back in 2000 when I called them the first time. Not really a bad deal, but I could not decide what Glock I wanted so I just kept it. I guess at this point I will just keep the pieces.

What is KB'n? Is this a common trait of Glock 40s?

Unfortunately, I'm needing to sell my Glock 29 and accessories. Working on getting stuff together now for posting ...

Liberty - KB is short for "Ka Boom". Most common in .40 barrels with unsupported chamber, especially when shooters use a lot of unjacketed bullets. Somewhat controversial. Lots of discussion about 'em at places like http://www.glocktalk.com For the G-29 (10mm) mentioned above, I got a Bar-Sto aftermarket .40 barrel with supported chamber for cheaper practice - and to reduce the probability of a KB ...
