Seen it. Nothin' sadder than an early flat-latch Airweight sending a chunk of frame downrange with the barrel, let me tell you. Yup. Seen it.

All of them. There is no brand that is immune. I have seen blown up examples of just about everything you can think of. I have seen grenaded Rugers, Remington pipe bombs, and HK pistols that slam-fired after their firing pin safeties failed. I know a guy with an awesome scar from where the bolt exited his 7mm Magnum Voere rifle and traversed his face and shoulder before coming to rest on the dirt behind him.
