I worked with a guy who had a 45lc do that. It jumped inside his skin and traveled out his foot......and it RUINED everything in between. He's crippled for life.
If the gun had been sitting for a long time, I wonder if the round in the chamber had picked up moisture or something that compromised it's performance. I'm surprised that even a .32 couldn't do more than lightly dent a plywood door from 5 yards.
I met a guy at Archery World this past Wednesday who is recovering from shooting himself in the hand with a .40. He was holding the gun by the barrel with his hand over the muzzle and dropped the gun on the striker. Nice big hole in his hand. I'm glad your friend didn't hurt himself of one of his family.

All modern striker fired guns have drop safeties, its virtually impossible for the gun to go off without the trigger being pulled. When the trigger is pulled on a striker fired gun, the trigger actually finishes cocking the gun, then it moves the block out of the way just before releasing to hit the primer.I think this guy was either showing off or doing something else but that trigger was pulled and his hand was in front of it. he's just not wanting to admit it.

Kinda sounds more like Glock hand, with the guy changing his story to seem less dumb. "Dropped the gun on the striker" doesn't make sense, since the striker is internal. "Dropped the striker" (i.e. pulled the trigger) is more like it, which you have to do in order to remove the slide from a Glock.
No quite as pulse raising as a 40mm grenade ND in a Bradley.😡
