Quick update: Check received from Peak Performance and picked up my new Shield from my LGS. Thank you all for your help!

Update: I spoke with Peak Performance again this morning and they agreed to reimburse me for the full cost of the pistol and buy back my remaining ammo. Despite what happened, I am very satisfied with how this company handles this incident. Accidents could happen to any company, big or small, it...

I sent another email to the ammo vendor two days ago asking him if we could resolve the issue between ourselves due to the overwhelming evidence that it was the ammo's fault and not an out of battery detonation. He still hasn't replied, yet.

So what can I do now? I already told the ammo vendor I will have SW examine the pistol. What else can I say to the vendor at this point? Also, I have installed night sights on this pistol. If what you guys said was true about SW will not return my pistol, should I remove the night sights before...

If it's not damaged why not use it? Thanks guys!

What do you call this part of the magazine? I am trying to find a replacement part for it for my Shield magazine. (You probably read my post about how my Shield blew up) The magazine doesn't look damaged. I can easily find a replacement floor plate, but I couldn't find a replacement for that...

The vendor replied today asking for more details. He wishes to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. I sent him a reply. Lets see what he does.

No damage to the slide nor the barrel.

It's okay. I learned my lesson. As for the black stuff, I am not sure what it is, but I posted it in another forum and someone speculated that it is cleaning agent residue. This might've increased the pressure inside the round.
