Is this possible with factory ammo??... Now I have to be concerned about my gun blowing up in my hand with ammo from the manufactures?
New shooter by the way, haven't even purchased my first gun, but is this cause for concern?

One thought came to mind after reading your post... even though kabooms like this are rare with factory ammo, it can happen. Overcharged/undercharged rds can be the culprit as well as a malfunction or something wrong with your firearm.
A couple notes:
1. Always wear safety/shooting glasses while shooting.
2. Learn your firearm and when cleaning, inspect parts for excessive wear and cracks.
3. This is a biggie...if your shooting and a round doesn't sound or feel right ( not as loud, recoil feels different)...STOP. Clear and Inspect your weapon. Especially making sure the bore is clear. A 'squib load' can surely ruin your day if you fire another round and the projectile from the squib rd. is still lodged in the barrel.
There are other tips I've left out and I'm sure others will chime in.
