Every gun manufacturer has failures.
Maybe so, but not every gun manufacturer makes a pistol that kbs with factory ammunition. If a squib load can't be ruled out, then that seems to be the likely culprit in this case. But a pistol kabooming by firing out of battery or due to an insufficiently supported chamber or having a "leaded" barrel is inexcusable to me. Hopefully, Glock will make this right but the many reports of Glock pistols-especially those chambered in .40 or .45 caliber- makes me leery of them. Of course, there's always this argument:

...I think you really have to consider how many guns they put out how many guns are still out there and just how many have gone kabom? I would wager that in all reality their numbers ratio of quality guns to ones that just did not hold up are probably fairly similar to other manufacturers.
