Nonsense. Any weapon can Kb! given the right set of circumstances. It's not unique to Glock, and it has nothing to do with supported vs. unsupported chambers. First up, here's your Kb!'d 1911:
1911 Kaboom!

Not convinced? Here's some more:
H&K Kaboom!

M1A Kaboom!

Tikka Kaboom!

Anaconda Kaboom!

Learned it the hard way. About 15 years ago, I bought a bag of gun show reloads for my Glock mod 30. This was before I met the missus and we migrated to SIGs in .40

The first three rounds, no problemo. Then - kaboom! Fortunately, the gun retained the slide, but the grip body was cracked, the slide distorted and the magazine was spat out the gun along with the unexpended rounds. Wasn't hurt aside from a little numbness to my hand and I had to pick a couple of pieces of brass out of my face.

The lesson here is obvious - don't ever buy gun show reloads! Never did find the guy who sold 'em, BTW. He was basically MIA from then on. I'm guessing that I wasn't the only dissatisfied customer.
