My P30 blew up.

I'm glad that Winchester is doing the right thing. Nice job keeping up the pressure

LOL I see what you did there....Keeping up "the pressure"

Ok, update!

HK politely told me it wasn't their fault or problem.

Winchester, after a few phone calls and some time has come through. They had me fed-ex them the unfired rounds, spent casing that did the damage, and what's left of my P30. They in turn are buying me a brand new P30 and sending me a bunch of ammo.

It took awhile for them to call me back, and me being pushy, but ultimately I'm satisfied with the result.

Cool beans! Glad they're taking care of it.

How much is "a bunch of ammo" if you don't mind my asking.

Glad Winchester is going make it right.

I'll let you guys know when it gets here. The original quantity I purchased was 1k rounds. I shot four hundred and fifty something, when the round exploded, so, I sent them back the remaining 500 unfired/unopened rounds in their boxes, and the 40 something out of the box that produced the bullet that started this mess. Also my mangled P30, I had the clairvoyance to pop my Trijicons off of it first, I almost forgot.

I provided them sales receipts and all that for everything. I gotta say, it pays to save your paperwork for things. I'm not sure if they are going to send me an entire fresh 1k rounds, or simply replace the unfired ones I returned. I also hope they know what they are doing replacing the pistol, and get me the same version. Though if I get a say in that, I want the DA/SA without the manual safety this time.

If you are planing to sell I would get the P30LS Light LEM.
Very hard to find and there are people currently activily looking for it.

I wonder also if they will give you a check for the MRSP value of your P30 version.

[05carbondrz]

I can't see them taking the Time to search for a specific version of the Gun for You.My guess is a check for msrp will show up with the Ammo and You can buy what You want with it.

Yes....I totally planned that....(maybe subconsciously)

Good deal! Glad to see you were made whole. Winchester could have been a little snappier, but at least they came through in the end. Sell the ammo locally and get some FM 124 gr XTP and call it good!

Another reason to buy ammo only from the big three.
Not that they can't make mistakes, but when they do, they take care of it.

And the "big three" are?
