I've seen photos of similar damage to plastic pistols, which occurred when a bullet gets pushed back into the case, during a jam or when the same round is chambered repeatedly and not fired...like in a LEO pistol.

I had a similar experience with my XD45. Fortunately, my pistol withstood the excess pressure when firing a round where the bullet had been pushed back into the case. Ever since then I've been very careful with rounds that I repeatedly chamber and don't shoot, and with any rounds that may have jammed.
