Looks like it's "faulty" as he couldn't run his tank over it. Yeah....that looks like some abusive behavior there.

That looks like it was used as a test gun for someones super hot reloaded ammunition locked in a vise. No way you would not get injury from that type of damage fired by hand.

Agreed, what do the slide and barrel look like?
Is there a bulge or stuck round in the barrel?

Glock Pistol Damage:
Some early manufactured Glock pistols DID NOT have a FULLY SUPPORTED barrel and if +P+ ammo or if non commercial ammunition was used in the cartridge fired in the pistol the damage to the pistol could look like your pistol:

I concur with the above. Someone used some very hot ammo. He’d be buying me a new gun.

Ok. Truth now comes out from the guy who borrowed the glock.
Person tried to strip down the weapon without much gunsmithing knowledge.. seems they tried to pry the frame off without removing pins as well as pry the trigger group out.

He must have learned how to field strip glock from the ending of Sicario

Sounds like his integrity is faulty.
Folks I understand in his AO it is not easy to get a good ol glock, and a legal one would cost up 10x what I paid at the Smyrna factory ($399!)
Your “friend” owes you plenty smackaroos.
That 80% lower may be the way to go but I’m not sure brownells would ship there n I don’t think many would volunteer putting that shape in international flight luggage.
So ask the lyin fiend to get you another firearm.
I think 1911 and FN are more available (outdated intel).
Heck, ask for AKM

Knew it. That was FAR beyond a "kaboom." That was intentional destruction.
Sic Box on him.

Hi There,
Not certain of the caliber or generation of the pistol, however, based on the bent up cruciform, it looks to me as if there was a double charged reload. Glock designs their pistol to blow down through the magazine as opposed to outward, to save the shooters hand. TR suggestion of an 80 percent is a great solution, however you can send the broken frame back to Glock and they should replace it for about $100.00. Call Glock during business hours and they will give you instructions on how to ship the pistol. If it were me i would have the guy pay for the replacement and shipping charges. He is certainly responsible. One final thing, take apart the slide and check all components.
HTH.
