I swore for a long time that I would never have a Glock...now, I have had a few of them...I have a Modle 23 right now...
I want a model 36...just not bad enought to buy one....But, I will find one to trade for one of these days.

id like a 10mm if everything fell into place at once, ie money.
I was a 1911 snob for a long time, still am to a point. I also own 4 Glocks now as they just plain work. For a few years I carried a Colt Defender (3" 1911) and now I carry a Glock 30S. They still feel goofy in the hand but I can shoot them well regardless...

Compared to a 1911 they are not very pleasing to look at.
A Glock is like a sledge hammer, they work plain and simple.
I was a 1911 guy all the way right up until I bought my first Glock just to shut a friend up.

The rest of it is correct. If you want to shoot lead through a Glock you will need to get a barrel with conventional rifling.

My understanding is some people have had good results with Hard Cast lead bullets in Glocks. The Brinell hardness being in the13-18 range. I have noticed that the bore on my Glocks pick up more copper with the plated rounds than the conventional rifled pistols. I would assume the same would hold true for the lead rounds. I think I can clean copper easier than lead out my barrel with solvents but that is just a supposition.

OK, here?s what I can tell you: Keep the BHN * above 12 and below (about) 18. Make sure your bullet diameter is no more than .001" over bore diameter, and NOT equal to or below it. Keep the muzzle velocity below (about) 1,100 fps.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD SHOOT LEAD BULLETS IN THEIR GLOCKS.
I have many times! When you're first getting started with lead bullets check your bore frequently for leading. After awhile, and with a little acquired experience, you?ll know what to expect, and for how long you can shoot BEFORE stopping to brush out the barrel. (All of my polygonal bores are coated with Sentry Solutions, ?Smooth-Kote? PASSIVATED molybdenum disulfide.) Do these things and I don't expect a person with 25 years of experience reloading cast bullets to have any problem at all.
To the best of my knowledge, Glock is one of very few manufacturers of mandrel-formed polygonal barrels that recommends against the use of lead bullets in their hammer-forged barrels; AND, given the broad lack of correct knowledge about this topic among the general shooting public, I'd have to say that Glock, GmbH is (probably) correct in making such a recommendation. For shooter/reloaders like you and me, though, the subject is moot.
