Glad you are not hurt. You might want to see if smith will do anything for you. If it was not a high pressure load it might have been a metal problem with the pistol. I had my 442 blow up couple of months ago. I was shooting with standard winchester .38 spl.(I have several non +p guns so I never shoot or buy +p ammo) when on the 15th round of the session I felt a strange recoil checked the pistol and the barrel was missing. The frame had cracked under the barrel and it was laying in front of the bench on the ground. Sent it to smith and they said they couldn't fix it and sent me a 642 to replace it. Not real happy, they wouldn't say what happened and I lost my 442 no dash nickel finished. But at least I didn't have to eat the loss and buy my own replacement. And yes I am an idiot, I didn't think to take any pictures until the day after I sent it off.
