The gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) was detail stripped and the Extractor, and all parts in the slide were replaced as a precaution. The Fire control unit was inspected and cleaned then placed in a new grip module.
Accuracy has been tested as well and not affected.
Pretty amazing that the gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) still works! Is this a testament to Sig Sauer (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/13/0/19/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=603&BEFID=96612&acode=610&code=610&aon=&crawler_id=523588&dealId=IJDjZ57g0ITpqTDkhpH4hA%3D%3D&searchID=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fads.midwayusa.com%2Fproduct%2F30 2689%2Fsig-sauer-whiskey3-rifle-scope-4-12x-50mm-triplex-reticle-black%3Fcm_mmc%3Dpf_ci_ebay-_-Optics%2B-%2BScopes%2B-%2B12X%2Band%2BGreater-_-Sig%2BSauer-_-302689%26sdc_id%3DeBay&DealName=Sig%20Sauer%20Whiskey3%20Scope%204-12x%2050mm%20TriPlex%20Reticle%20Black&MerchantID=523588&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=170401051316&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=349.99&SKU=302689) build quality? Or a one in a million chance that everything went well as much as possible?
And in case you might think this is an isolated issue, I have different source, who also wishes to remain anonymous, also experienced something similar.
[INDENT]My daughter had a factory double charge go off in her p320 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/13/0/19/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=603&BEFID=96612&acode=610&code=610&aon=&crawler_id=523588&dealId=IJDjZ57g0ITpqTDkhpH4hA%3D%3D&searchID=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fads.midwayusa.com%2Fproduct%2F30 2689%2Fsig-sauer-whiskey3-rifle-scope-4-12x-50mm-triplex-reticle-black%3Fcm_mmc%3Dpf_ci_ebay-_-Optics%2B-%2BScopes%2B-%2B12X%2Band%2BGreater-_-Sig%2BSauer-_-302689%26sdc_id%3DeBay&DealName=Sig%20Sauer%20Whiskey3%20Scope%204-12x%2050mm%20TriPlex%20Reticle%20Black&MerchantID=523588&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=170401051316&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=349.99&SKU=302689). Besides scaring the hell out of her she was fine. She actually finished the match with that gun.
I put a new extractor in, changed the grip, fired 200 rounds real quick to function check.
She is still shooting the same gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) to this day. Only thing that was changed was the frame & extractor. This was 7 months & about 10,000 rounds later. With same fcu, striker, slide, extractor spring.
Below are photos of the casing.

[INDENT]I took a set of Digital calipers (https://www.amazon.com/Masonic-Calipers-Masonry-NDZ-Performance/dp/B00YCZU3JW) measure the barrel chamber the fire control unit which by the way was completely unharmed put a different group. Had to replace the extractor and all other components in the slide just to be on the safe side and ran about 35rounds (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/13/0/19/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=603&BEFID=96400&acode=594&code=594&aon=&crawler_id=523588&dealId=PZx6K5uPZHdJC5pLPmWMxg%3D%3D&searchID=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fads.midwayusa.com%2Fproduct%2F41 0561%2Fnightforce-2-piece-20-moa-picatinny-style-scope-base-savage-110-through-116-round-rear-axis-long-action-matte%3Fcm_mmc%3Dpf_ci_ebay-_-Optics%2B-%2BScope%2BRings%252C%2BBases%252C%2BMounting%2B%2 526%2BAccessories-_-Nightforce-_-410561%26sdc_id%3DeBay&DealName=Nightforce%202-Piece%2020%20MOA%20Picatinny-Style%20Scope%20Base%20Savage%20110%20Through%2011 6%20Round%20Rear%2C%20Axis%20Long%20Action%20Matte&MerchantID=523588&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=170401051316&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=87.0&SKU=410561) through it

The gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) was detail stripped and the Extractor, and all parts in the slide were replaced as a precaution. The Fire control unit was inspected and cleaned then placed in a new grip module.
Accuracy has been tested as well and not affected.
Pretty amazing that the gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) still works! Is this a testament to Sig Sauer (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/13/0/19/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=603&BEFID=96612&acode=610&code=610&aon=&crawler_id=523588&dealId=IJDjZ57g0ITpqTDkhpH4hA%3D%3D&searchID=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fads.midwayusa.com%2Fproduct%2F30 2689%2Fsig-sauer-whiskey3-rifle-scope-4-12x-50mm-triplex-reticle-black%3Fcm_mmc%3Dpf_ci_ebay-_-Optics%2B-%2BScopes%2B-%2B12X%2Band%2BGreater-_-Sig%2BSauer-_-302689%26sdc_id%3DeBay&DealName=Sig%20Sauer%20Whiskey3%20Scope%204-12x%2050mm%20TriPlex%20Reticle%20Black&MerchantID=523588&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=170401051316&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=349.99&SKU=302689) build quality? Or a one in a million chance that everything went well as much as possible?
And in case you might think this is an isolated issue, I have different source, who also wishes to remain anonymous, also experienced something similar.
[INDENT]My daughter had a factory double charge go off in her p320 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/13/0/19/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=603&BEFID=96612&acode=610&code=610&aon=&crawler_id=523588&dealId=IJDjZ57g0ITpqTDkhpH4hA%3D%3D&searchID=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fads.midwayusa.com%2Fproduct%2F30 2689%2Fsig-sauer-whiskey3-rifle-scope-4-12x-50mm-triplex-reticle-black%3Fcm_mmc%3Dpf_ci_ebay-_-Optics%2B-%2BScopes%2B-%2B12X%2Band%2BGreater-_-Sig%2BSauer-_-302689%26sdc_id%3DeBay&DealName=Sig%20Sauer%20Whiskey3%20Scope%204-12x%2050mm%20TriPlex%20Reticle%20Black&MerchantID=523588&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=170401051316&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=349.99&SKU=302689). Besides scaring the hell out of her she was fine. She actually finished the match with that gun.
I put a new extractor in, changed the grip, fired 200 rounds real quick to function check.
She is still shooting the same gun (http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=gun) to this day. Only thing that was changed was the frame & extractor. This was 7 months & about 10,000 rounds later. With same fcu, striker, slide, extractor spring.
Below are photos of the casing.

Test fired 200 rounds just to be sure and the daughter finished the match. That is rather impressive.
Seems to have done better than some GLOCK's I have seen kaboom.
