Currently circulating on at a least one firearms forum are photographs of a Springfield XD pistol that suffered catastrophic failure also.
Under we don’t know what we don’t know and won’t know. Unless other wise notified the root cause of the catastrophic failure has not yet been determined. In a conversation with a shooting industrial source most failures are related to ammunition irregularities. This doesn’t exclude firearm related design and manufacturing issues.
