And what about those Rugers revolvers that were blowing the barrels off-weren't they Redhawks or something? someone posted a picture of theirs with the barrel snapped off clean. Metallurgy or machining?
Actually, that was a REALLY weird situation: bad lube on the barrel threads.

One story is that they lubed a batch of barrels on a Friday, installed 'em Monday, meanwhile the lube tried and the barrels were over-torqued. VERY few guns were affected.
