The worst instance was my Glock .45, which,
in the middle of a Practical stage, decided it had a burst
fire ability.... and stitched a neat row of 5 holes up the
target, which was luckily only about 7 yds away...... it
didn't empty the mag... just fired 5, then stopped.......I
owned that pistol for about 2 years, and fired thousands
of rounds through it, but that was the only ever time it
did it.....i could never find out why, or make it do it again....

Are you familiar with Ed McGivern, and his book
"Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting"?
McGivern was a shooter of some great
accomplishment. His ability to shoot a revolver at great
speed (5 shots within the confines of a circle, the size of
a silver dollar, in 45/100's second) has only just been beaten
by another accomplished American shooter.
What you experienced might well have been the
touch needed to accomplish the same feat with a semiauto
pistol - something that isn't done by the type of shooters looking
to repeat McGivern's successes.
If you are interested, McGiven's book is still available
through Amazon.com or other book sellers.
Now, overlooking the idea that you may have had a
coincidental run of extremely sensitive primers, or primers
that were not properly seated (what are the coincidental chances?),
then I would suggest that your grip was the thing that was 'tuned'
precisely at that moment in time, to produce the results that you
experienced.
