Narrative:

Captain was flying. On final visual approach; at approximately 800 ft MSL; received a red windshear warning. Speed and aircraft were stable. Captain called and executed a go-around. I informed tower we were going around for a windshear warning. Tower gave us a 040 heading and an altitude of 2000 ft. Captain overshot altitude by more than 450 ft. An immediate return to altitude was performed. We were subsequently given a climb to 3000 ft after a minute or two. We had to try three different approach frequencies before tower found a good one for us to switch to. We returned for an uneventful visual approach and landing. Side note: so many pilots execute a full pitch up and power up go-around regardless of their location in reference to the ground or missed approached point or their target altitude that a 'fly-thorough' can and does happen like the one described above.
