I think it would be a good idea to identify the ammo company and lot number.
It could save someone else from injury.

Looks like the pistol held, regarding slide/barrel lockup, and the damage was caused by the gasses escaping via case failure at the unsupported area of the chamber.

but I thought Glocks were perfect. Millions of rounds fired, no problems.

Cant help but think a steel or aluminum framed gun would have held up better.

i'm not going say what brand ammo it was ,if they take care of this the right way. Are your freakin' kidding? Do you want someones eyes on your conscience? How was the overcharge determined?

Are you saying the .40S&W doesn't have the capacity for a double or are you saying most manufacturers don't use powder for their pistol rounds, that is efficient enough to be doubled? Because there is plenty of case capacity in the .40S&W or .45acp for that matter to double, depending on the powder and bullet.

I am saying (with the powders used for full power cartridges) that if the case is double charged it will be too full to seat a bullet. If a handloader uses Bulleye then of course a double charge is possible

Pull 2 bullets from factory loaded rounds and then pour the powder from both cartridges into 1 case and let us know what the results are

the ammo company says it was a overcharged 40cal casing. it split at the base and blew out the primer. Can you tell us how the ammo company knew it was an overcharge? Did your buddy send them some unfired ammo from the same box?

Jwp475: Two things - YOU don't know anything about relaoding 40 S&W ammo obviously - AND I have been around and shot more Glocks than YOU will ever see in your lifetime and I have NEVER seen one go KABOOM to date! Not one! Something was catastrophically wrong with that 40 S&W factory ammo - NOT with the Glock. Sounds like the ammo company agrees with ME! Like someone else mentioned from what I see in the enclosed pictures that Glock held together pretty well! I have NO plans what so ever to sell ANY of my Glocks as a result of this incident. Maybe YOU could enlighten the rest of us as to which 40 S&W pistol YOU would guarantee that would have held up better under this circumstance? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

No one can blame the pistol for coming apart with a double charged load.
I have seen pictures of some ruger redhawks that came apart with double charged loads. Hardly the pistols fault.
