My son had a Kaboom in his HK45 using reloads bought from an estate. Same MO, mag bottom blown out, burnt hand though.
Sent to HK in Columbus on a Monday. Smith called Tuesday morning to verify shipping address. Delivered to PTC Wed.
Total cost, $155 for new lower, mag etc(2012, pre Firearmegeddon). HK has a lifetime Wty, but not for Kabooms.
Later he found a hairline crack in the lower of my Beretta PS4 compact. Sent to Accokeek. Took a month. That one was still under wty, but I think Beretta only warranties for a year.
Another important safety tip: Don't hold down the barrel of a wheel gun to reduce muzzle flip while testing 44 mag at max, esp over the gap. I just checked and the particles have finally worked their way out of my hand.
