SCCY CPX-2 blew up this morning in the desert

[brownie]

Two gun shop owners [ father/son ] and myself met in the Sonoran this morning for some shooting time. The son brought hos wifes new SCCY CPX-2 to play with. NIB, he fired 27 rounds of factory 115 grain ball 9mm without a bobble. The 28th round destroyed the gun [ no pics which I should have thought to take of the gun ]..

The barrel exploded fully in half, horizontally when held in a shooting position. That barrel exploding, ripped the recoil spring out, blew off the right side of the slide [ peeled it from front to back from the muzzle to about the rear sight location ]. The top strap didn't suffer as much tearing of steel [ like shrapnel from an artillery shell looks like ] He's shooting left handed, only a slight mark on his wrist from small shrapnel, but otherwise okay.

He's decided his wife deserved to carry her S+W MP shield from now on, no more low dollar POS's for him and his wife. Dad, on the other hand, never said a word but they are reconsidering not selling them at the shop any longer.
