Mine is a glock 30 in .45 cal
The glock that blew up was a glock 19. Don't know further details, was told this by the gun-store owner who I had help me get the case out of the gun. In all three events, the cause was a case rupture. The case that caused my problem had a crack from the case mouth down 2/3rds of the case. I think I'm fortunate that it didn't crack all the way down, spewing hot gas into my almost-full mag

I shoot a G30 in .45 as well, one of the two Glocks I now own. I've tried a G36, but it doesn't fit my hand as well without the Pierce magazine/grip extension, which I also have on my G30. My reloads are Glock 21 magazines left over from one of my previous Glocks, now happily at work for a local Sheriff's deputy.
Note too that some of the old steel-cased ammo also used a mild steel jacketed bullet, and some examples have been founded rusted solidly together, little grenades just waiting to be fired after all these years. Best left to the collectors....
Hope your Glock continues to work for you as well as mine have for me. But I tend to err on the side of conservative caution and doublecheck reports with my own experiments. I think I'll see if I can get my Glock 17 to exhibit a *phase 3* malfunction. Whether it does or not, it should be fun expending a few thousand rounds to find out, and the Glock 18 33-round magazines are a hoot to run through.
