Congrats on the new purchase! Its terrible how those things follow a guy home. I hear ya on there hard loading mags, when I got my last auto I had the same issues!

I can't re-call what the reason was for not being able to shoot lead cast bullets out of Glocks. I remember when deciding between a Glock and my Springfield the guy at Garys Gunshop told me, but that was 2 years ago now.
