A little JB weld, a 3M scouring pad, and a vise and it’ll be right as rain.

Apparently that's possible
The main frame looks like it almost let loose also, with tearing of the metal top and bottom by the breech face.

Dear lord! Can't say I've ever seen a Super in that state.
Had an old Colt Police Positive Target do that in my hand. Another guys gun and his reloads. Double charge of Titegroup. It was a beautiful little gun and I was test shooting it as I intended to buy it.

It takes some real doing to do that to a Super. I'd love to know the load details.

I've got a Model 69 that looks about like that, ...but I don't like to talk about it.
Must have been some horrific load to do that. What amazes me is how it deformed the bottom of the frame. Never would have expected it to bend that way.

In my mind I still can't resolve how it happened but the evidence points to me feeding it a double charge of Universal.

Mine was HS-6 and a 45 colt Bisley, I have tried to sort out every other possible reason but all the roads lead back to me and a double charge. The only thing hurt (besides my gun) was my pride though, so it could have been so much worse. |

I took to weighing my loaded ammo to make sure they were all 4-5 grains of each other.
Extra way to ensure I didn't double a charge.
I'm very careful loading HS-6 also.

I blew up a Ruger 357 Maximum (I loved that gun) using PC factory ammo. PC paid for the gun without hesitation.
It took me months to calm down and not flinch on a continual basis. I still don't like talking about it.
It's what got me into loading my own for everything I shoot except 22.
