Reloads????? Was the kboom from reloads?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have never had a problem with my 10mm full size Glock.
When I first got it I did a "controlled experiment" by loading the magazine with .40 S&W and later .357 SIG. (I used to be a range officer and armorer... my avatar is me at the range I ran) The purpose was to see what would happen if the wrong ammo was loaded accidentally. This could have been done since all three of those calibers were carried by the group I trained.
It was definitely a DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME experiment!!
I have also acquired barrels chambered in .40 S&W and .357 SIG to be able to fire those rounds with a correct chamber.
If you are wondering... the .40 S&W chambered, fired, ejected, and held an acceptable group from the 10MM barrel. The .357 SIG was a different story... it fired as did the .40 S&W with both "headspacing" by the extractor. The .357 SIG fireformed and did not even cause the slide to move rearward a fraction.
Again... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
ALSO... I am aware of a number of FBI issue S&W 1076 pistols working flawlessly with one exception. The early 1076 made for the FBI had a design problem where it was possible to have the trigger lock-up. The triggers were replaced with one of a different finish so it was easily recognized as the "upgrade".

Looking to buy 10mm pistol .
Looking for reliable pistol that will not crack, kaboom or jam.
Glock 20 went KABOOM in my friend's hand.
Witness - frames crack
Colt delta - jam
I just want a perfect hi-cap 10mm for under $3000
There's a 99.9% chance Gen3/4 Glock 20 won't kaboom with any non-handloaded round. The chamber support is much better in the newer guns than when they came out. They're the most reliable/durable 10mm currently on the market in my experience.
So it's .01% chance
