No comment on my part about what caused it.
However in watching the video with the reporter I was upset. The LEO all but put the muzzle against the reporters belly. Even if the weapon was unable to fire a round his weapons handling sucks big time.

I'll take a stab at what caused it!
I'll guarantee it had to do with the powder gases not being able to escape fast enough.
That could have caused catastrophic injury. I'm certainly thankful it was no worse that it was!
I bet the deputy was too.

Unsupported chamber??
Not the first time this has happened.

You don't hear about many KaBooms with other guns and especially steel frame semi-autos. I think Glocks are good guns but every time I hear about a KB with one, I put off buying one a little longer.

I only own Glocks chambered in 9 mm.

With either double charge or occluded barrel i think i'd rather have a glock over most other guns. When (foolishly) shooting reloads (and not knowing the loader) my sig gsr not only blew out the grips but fractured the slide in 3 places after an overcharge load.
The only complaint i have with glock is the lack of a firing pin return spring. In many thousands of rounds it's only happened once (of course during competition) that a high primer set off an out of battery round.
No damage to the gun. In my experience between 'other guns' and glocks the glock takes less damage.
Bottom line is i haven't seen a kb yet with factory ammo. Would like to know the manufacturer in this incident.

Are the g21 barrels "supported"?
A good NDI lab could answer most questions abot this is in short order.
The metal holds the information whether this was a barrel obstruction, fired out of battery, overpressure round, or defective metal in the gun. Pieces of the cartridge, even tiny ones, provide valuable info.
When I was range officer on an Air Force base, a blown Model 870 was run through NDI and found to have blown from a handloaded round that was 60% over SAAMI pressure. The GI finally fessed up that he had slipped one of his "personal loads" into the weapon and caused the blowup. Until the NDI report showed it was not GI ammo, he had lied about using the illegal ammo and claimed the blowup was mysterious.
