You had an explosion. Your barrel just absorbed the energy so your body was not required to absorb any excess. Lady Luck was with you!!
A squib is a “Pop and no Kick”. Part of good training is recognizing a malfunction and taking appropriate action. This is why “Pop and no Kick” terminology was used instead of squib and the action to take (discard the weapon) were briefed at every training session.
It is rare and you got lucky. Glad it was a good outcome. Replace your barrel, drive on, and join “the few” who have experienced this malfunction.
