And a double charge will not destroy a pistol if the case fails first. It actually acts as a safety valve and releases pressure down the mag well, usually blowing the mag out and cracking the grips on a 1911. This is one reason the pachymer grips were so popular, they had steel inserts in them.
I can't find any reference to the federal recall of 40S&W ammo, but will continue to look.
This reminds me of a couple of guys I knew back in the late 1980's/early-1990's.... They bought a Lee 1000 progressive reloader, and it had a BAD habit of either double, or triple charging cases! Actually, it ONLY did this once. ...and that one batch had a double (or triple) charge in it. These were .357 Mags they were loading, and they blew up a REALLY nice Colt Trooper! It was a classic back strap blowup! Fortunately, the shooter wasn't injured (just a sore hand).
