3 years ago a 20+ year varmint hunting buddy and serious firearms collector had a squib round in his Ruger 77/17......he was distracted by a cell phone call and had another person next to him shooting a centerfire when the squib happened and ended up chambering another round......it blew the side off the stock and disintegrated the Ruger rotary mag........a tiny little .17 HMR. Certain rounds develop serious pressure. My even smaller .17 Mach 2 has higher pressures than the .17 HMR. This round was due to a bad batch of Hornady ammo. It was reported to Hornady with the batch number off the box and case and Hornady actually sent him a new rifle.
Sometimes safety is beyond your control but it's a very small percentage.

but some were not.....I have 1700 rounds through my XD with reloads, cheap and what ever was laying around with zero issues.
Im not a glock hater just buyer be informed. Quality should top all reasons for purchase.
