Sounds like bad ammo. I'm not a Glock zealot but they are good handguns and I seriously doubt it was a defect in the gun. As far as the thoughts on how another gun would have handled the event my FNP choked down a bad 45 round and had it blow up in its mouth. Blew the mag out the bottom and broke off the decocker lever. Aside from that the gun was unaffected and shot perfectly. Bad ammo happens. I do not think I would feel comfortable firing any handgun that I knew would fail or come apart in the unlikely (but possible) event of a defective round.
