shooting lead in a glock? newb question...

[WhiteyMacD]

Shoot lead out of my glocks all the time. Both factory and aftermarket. I also clean any barrel (regardless) after every range trip.

I have a friend who used to shoot a glock competetively.
Probably put close to 30,000 rounds thru his stock glock.
Never had a problem.
Just use a good hardcast bullet.

I have been told by several shooters that due to the way Glock cuts the rifiling in thier barrels lead will build up in the barrel eventually causing the barrel to explode. Is this fact or fiction? I have a glock 30 and load 200 gr SWC that I run through my 1911. I would like to run lead through my 30 factory barrel but only if its safe to do so. Thanks

Do this.

do a search for "lead glock" should come up with some results here. That question gets asked with some regularity.

Some stories just won't go away.
Use a good hardcast bullet like what J&K make and you'll be fine.
Actually just pm J&K Bullets about this, they're a board sponsor.

Will do. I have been using J&K bullets for some time. Thanks for the intel.
