I don't recall if the destructing pistols were ones manufactured in Austria or at the Smyrna, Georgia factory in the US.

IIRC, most of the Glock kaboom incidents were in the .40 S&W and .357 SIG models, which combine a higher-pressure cartridge with a partially-unsupported casing. A lot of them were a convergence of factors... including excessive powder charges in reloaded casings.
(ObT2k: This is one hazard of reusing brass multiple times.)

+1. IMO, if you don't want to carry plastic, the CZ 75 is one of the best values on the market today.

Yeah, I know. Hard to believe anyone survived carrying revolvers all those years...
