Complaint: [redacted] In regards to what the Glock technician had to say: he mentioned no such information about incorrectly installed parts The only part that was not factory was an extended slide release installed by a certified Glock armorer and master gunsmith How that would cause a round to blow up in my hand is beyond my knowledge of physics and mechanical engineering Having a M.Sin the latter, I presume it to be the former In response to the claim that the round in question was a reloaded or remanufactured round: I again state that I do not own any reloading equipment nor have I ever done so The only experience I have with reloading is sporadic YouTube curiosity and shop talk at the local gun storeThe round was loaded into a standard Glock magazine straight from a freshly opened box of Winchester round value pack purchased from [redacted] Sports the day before.In response to the round itself: Before sending it off to Winchester I showed the still jammed and unremoved round to an acquaintance I have with my local sheriff's office They happen to run the ballistics lab and inspect casings and ammo for most of my state on a daily basisThey state that the way/area in which to round failed is due to weak alloy composition since it failed at the case head the, normally, most structurally sound portion of such a case This makes their claim that the round was reloaded not only false, but moot as well They further advised that an overcharged round would stretch and bulge in a perfect ring and due to the way Glocks are manufactured, would blow out towards the magazine well I personally, from an objective standpoint, trust an unbiased source grounded in science and years of experience with no dog in the fight, to say versus a "technician" that happens to be paid by the company that manufactures the round in question The same unbiased source whose testimony is considered expert in a court of law and admissible as evidenceThe Facebook posts were made to separate posts posted to a public Winchester page Not repeatedly, as Winchesters response claims I feel it imperative to warn other prospective buyers of my experiences with Winchester and the horrendous quality control issues they have It would seem that if Winchester truly felt confident in their product, such comments on social media would not be of concern In response to the $check I ask this: Had the round caused my firearm to explode in such a way that I lost fingers or suffered other serious injury would they feel they feel that they had done the right thing? I wonder if, God forbid, I suffered mortal injuries as a result of their ammo; would they mail the $check to my wife and kids Sincerely, [redacted]

In regards to what the Glock technician had to say: he mentioned no such information...

about incorrectly installed parts.  The only part that was not factory was an extended slide release installed by a certified Glock armorer and master gunsmith.  How that would cause a round to blow up in my hand is beyond my knowledge of physics and mechanical engineering.  Having a M.S. in the latter, I presume it to be the former.  In response to the claim that the round in question was a reloaded or remanufactured round: I again state that I do not own any reloading equipment nor have I ever done so.  The only experience I have with reloading is sporadic YouTube curiosity and shop talk at the local gun store. The round was loaded into a standard Glock magazine straight from a freshly opened box of .40 Winchester 100 round value pack purchased from [redacted] Sports the day before.In response to the round itself: Before sending it off to Winchester I showed the still jammed and unremoved round to an acquaintance I have with my local sheriff's office.  They happen to run the ballistics lab and inspect casings and ammo for most of my state on a daily basis. They state that the way/area in which to round failed is due to weak alloy composition since it failed at the case head the, normally, most structurally sound portion of such a case.  This makes their claim that the round was reloaded not only false, but moot as well.  They further advised that an overcharged round would stretch and bulge in a perfect ring and due to the way Glocks are manufactured, would blow out towards the magazine well.  I personally, from an objective standpoint, trust an unbiased source grounded in science and years of experience with no dog in the fight, to say versus a "technician" that happens to be paid by the company that manufactures the round in question.  The same unbiased source whose testimony is considered expert in a court of law and admissible as evidence. The Facebook posts were made to separate posts posted to a public Winchester page.  Not repeatedly, as Winchesters response claims.  I feel it imperative to warn other prospective buyers of my experiences with Winchester and the horrendous quality control issues they have.  It would seem that if Winchester truly felt confident in their product, such comments on social media would not be of concern.  
In response to the $20 check I ask this: Had the round caused my firearm to explode in such a way that I lost fingers or suffered other serious injury would they feel they feel that they had done the right thing?  I wonder if, God forbid, I suffered mortal injuries as a result of their ammo; would they mail the $20 check to my wife and kids.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

I have spoken with the consumer and I am going to pick up this consumers ammo and everything seems ok. We had a new website put in and are behind on it. I let him know the number he left, a "[redacted]" answered, so I did not leave a message.
