Sorry, kabooms exist, I had one. Second gen G23, reloaded 180gr FMJ over 5.5 gr Unique. Not particularly a hot load, I believe the case was to blame. I still pick up and use range brass (I know, let the commotion begin...) Anyway, just noticed that something didn't "feel right" after the 3rd round in the magazine. Locked the slide back and noticed the bras still in the chamber with the bottom of the casing blown out (6 o'clock positon, approx 1/4" of rim gone). Unloaded weapon, checked grip, barrel and internals, no damage evident. Reassembled, noticed that the very top of the slide lock lever was missing...internals still there, still locked back with empty mag. Gas from kaboom round apparently exited side of weapon and took top of slide lock with it. Anyway, fired 10 more rounds, no malfs, and ordered a new slide lock from Lone Wolf next day.
