If you have the casings you fired AFTER the incident, examine them Closely for a bulge just forward of the rim about 3/16 inch on 1 side...This is where it will most likely bulge the Barrel due to overpressure on the weakest part of the rear of the chamber...You are lucky that the slide didn't blow off if it was an overpressure round. And suggestion , use the shooters glasses that also cover back to your forehead for flying shell casings...Yikes,and cover the Cleavage !
