Good grief, never seen anything like that before!
oops!
The front fell off, that really stinks. But seriously could've a lot worse.
That is amazing!!!
Nah, that's the new line of disposable S&W's. One time use only.

Is this the 2 piece S&W barrel I've heard about.
is it legal in California now?
So was that a cylinder timing issue or botched reload my vote is for a malfunction in the cylinder and bth bullet hit the side of the barrel
that's the new takedown version
Whoah! Looks like no one was hurt but for the pistol being wrecked, so that is good.
As for the cause...
My "WAG" is that someone over-torqued the barrel/frame connection & it had a small crack in it, or, at some time, someone dropped the pistol & that connection was cracked. Might have been weak heat treat somewhere around that connection, but I think a mechanical issue more likely.
That is just a guess from me, anyway. Just pondering.
Likely will not ever know...

It sort of leave one speechless. I suspect that the cylinder was not latched. Then when he fired it the cylinder was slightly out of time. Thus causing it to come out and the barrel to be forced off.
Good luck getting it replaced. Even with factory loads the ammo manufacturers vs the gun manufacturers will blame the user3.
Just glad his not hurt.

Honestly I'm seriously impressed at how cleanly and "safely" that gun failed. It directed pretty much everything away from the user.

That went very well, considering.
I bet that guy has a flinch he will never cure. Glad he still has his hands and face could have been much worse. Regards Stephen
Looked to me like one of the comments under the video was spot on. No bulge in the barrel just a perfect split and it came off right at the threads. Manu defect caused by over torquing the barrel or something like that causing a hairline crack right at the frame? Cylinder not latched tight causing sideways movement enough to blow it up?
I am impressed that the shooter didn't move after the gun self-destructed.

Glad the shooter is OK. That could have been bad.
Hard to say what caused that: Manufacturing defect, barrel obstruction, gross timing issue, over pressure cartridge, ???
The barrel split right at the forcing cone/threads and the photos show a pretty clean split. I can only guess but my first WAG is the barrel was cracked before that shot.
