I love it when folks start posting pictures of damaged firearms as if it means anything.
I once read an article online about squib loads in which multiple pictures of guns which had been either damaged or destroyed by squibs were showcased. Later that year, I happened upon a thread about how some firearm or another wasn't designed strong enough to hold up to a steady diet of hot loads in which one of the pictures I had seen in that article had been posted by the topic creator as "proof" of his assertions. I found the article, linked back to it, and confronted the topic creator about it, to which he had admitted to just using pictures he found using Google.
This is an extremely common issue here on the internet. People go on and on about how firearms they don't own have issued based on second-hand information, linking to pictures of other people's damaged firearms they found online as proof without actually knowing the content.
For example, I once saw a thread on the Ruger Pistol Forum regarding the use of Buffalo Bore .380 ACP +P out of an LCP in which somebody posted pictures of an LCP with cracked rails which he claimed were a result of shooting Buffalo Bore .380 ACP +P loads. Now I'm not entirely sure if they're the same, and I don't have the time to go searching the Ruger Pistol Forum for said thread to confirm it, but one of the pictures posted in this very thread showcasing an LCP with cracked rails looks like a picture from said thread.
For those who don't know, there's no such thing as an official SAAMI designation for .380 ACP +P loads, meaning Buffalo Bore and anyone else who claims to be selling ".380 ACP +P" ammo is selling unregulated overpressure loads.
