I can recall pics of such a catastrophic blow-down, probably right here on this forum...Mag body still in place; bottom blown out and spring hanging down...

However, if the Borchardt had such a venting mod to the breechblock, why not the Luger??? Especially after going to the 9mm Parabellum from the 7.65 Parabellum (essentially a shortened 7.65 Borchardt)...
