I used to have a Colt SAA .45LC that looked just like that except my top strap just stretched and humped up.... it results from accidental, or in this guys case perhaps an intentional overload. The main charge goes off and ruptures the cylinder setting the adjacent chambers off. No one would fix it so I sold the frame for parts but still have the cylinder of that .45 and the top 3 chambers are totally gone. I never even found the pieces. Every time I reload pistol ammo I put that cylinder on the bench right in front of me as a reminder. Been doing that for 25yrs. Impressive when it happens to say the least...
