I was considering a Glock 21 .45 ACP. While looking into it, I ran across people who had experienced "kaBOOM's" with them. As in, a catastrophic failure of the gun blowing up. After looking into that, it seems that the culprit may be the partially unsupported case mouth, although this is also up for debate. Supposedly, the Portland PD dropped the G21 because of these kB's.
To be fair, it seems that most of these kB's were with reloads or very overpressure ammo.
My question is, is this something to worry about? Would this be a gun I'd want to stake my life on?
Also, should I get a gen3 or gen4?
