[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2733691, member: 807"] Be aware that glocks don't digest reloads with their factory barrels well at all. Glock in its infinite wisdom cuts the feed ramp further into the chamber than most other manufacturers. If you wil examine cases fired from glocks larger than 9mm, you will notice a pronounced bulge in the case. Factory virgin brass is ductile (elastic) enough to stretch where the feed ramp cuts into the chamber without rupturing normally. When you resize the brass you work harden it and if fired in a glock pistol with a factory barrel there is a chance that the brass will rupture at the feed ramp cut, usually with disasterous results to the gun and sometimes the shooter. I've owned several glocks and shot reloads out of them all. For most of them I have purchased an aftermarket barrel which has normal cut rifling and a fully supported chamber. Lone Wolf barrels are a quality product and are a drop in fit. If you love yoru glock and want to shoot reloads in it, be aware of some of the problems you may encounter. Good luck [/QUOTE]
