Be honest, it is not automatic that the handload issue will carry weight, and get a lawyer.
Sorry for the bad fortune, I had a lot of damage to my feet at one time: pain and frustration can really eat a man.

he's going to be asked the question under oath, so it really doesn't matter. I don't think he's planning to commit perjury when he's asked. He doesn't have to tell them everything he knows right out of the gate, particularly if he is not looking to retire off of what they pay him.

Plus, now that you've posted about it, you remove some of the incentive for them to settle quickly as that thousands of people already know about it and that picture will be forever shown on hundreds of gun forums. One reason they might want to settle is to keep it completely quiet. Too late for that now.

The way I read that safety and warranty notice above seems to leave FAIR CHASE sitting okay. The handgun blew up on factory ammunition, and it was the 30th round of factory ammunition.
"resulting in whole or partly from: -- the use of reloaded ammunition"
I would think it's going to be FNH's burden to prove that the reloads fired earlier damaged the weapon in a way that led to factory ammo causing this disaster.

Good luck with the hand, it's more important than the rest.
I agree with SteveNO's thoughts on this completely. Their warranty terms are a posture, not The World according to FN-H.

This sounds more like an ammo problem, than a pistol problem. Sounds like the ammo company messed up...double charge?

Hard to imagine that little pizzant cartridge would wreak so much havoc.

I know there's plenty of other ways steel framed guns can let go, but it seems like if they do blow a case, the gun pretty much contains the blast, and helps save the hand from injury. I do recall, though, some of the guys who were constantly hot rodding 1911's went to rubber grips with steel inserts, to help protect their hands.
It would be kinda fun to have a Contender carbine in 5.7 - maybe even a PS90 or the AR57.

If you sue you will have a hard time proving it was a Factory Round that cause this when you have already stated you were using both Hand-loads and factory during this shooting session at the time the pistol decided to let go. Just thinking out loud.

Wow, I have managed to lock up a Ruger rifle in 300 win mag with a handload, took a two by four to get her open, she still shoots fine, I got lucky.
Hope you heal quick.

Seriously. I've blown a fair number of caseheads with 9mm Major loads and usually the magazine is even OK. That FN cracked up like it was porcelain.
