    SWAT magazine has an article this month about Pat Rogers having a Colt 6940 blow up. This was after 17k rounds and had only been cleaned around at around 15k.

    They have requested Colt's findings several times, but have not received any response.

    Sorry, but the article is not up on their website.

    With only two, it still looks like an exception to the rule.

    Remember Parallel's Colt 6920 that blew up?
    Parallel had a Colt 6920 blow during a Magpul Dynamics training class.
