RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
Id have to say nay since im not a big fan of polygonal barrels because they become excessively lead fouled with lead bullets and can cause high chamber pressures. I use a lot of lead bullets so glocks dont work for me but other then that they are a 5 star handgun and are very reliable and sturdy just plan to shoot jacketed or plated bullets only.

RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
ORIGINAL: SPIKEHORN11 I've always wondered if you could buy a regular barrel for them to shoot lead bullets? Yes, there are companies making after market barrels for Glocks that are safe for lead bullets. Brownells should have some on their website. |
RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
Thats strange. I ran a lot of lead bullets through my 22 without any leading problem. Mine was one of the first 22's do they all have the same barrels?.

RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
I've got the full size model 21 in 45 ACP.
Very accurate, if I do my part with the DAO trigger. I shoot precision better with a good SA gun, and the grip is a wee bit too big for me, but it's a shooter, and reliable as heck. Does anybody know os a gunsmith that will modify the frame to add a light rail? Mine is an older model without the rail. |
RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
Yay...I have a Glock 27 .40S&W for 5 years. I haven't had a problem. I shoot handloads and factory ammo with good results. It's a straight forward self defense or military gun. The only other handgun I have that I would put next to it is my H&K USP40.

RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
I buy American as much as possible. However, Glock's are the only handguns I know of that arefully reliable,very rugged,accurate, and safe, right of the box.
As much as I love 1911's and Hi Powers, I've never owned one that didn't require a lot of work before I could trust it as a carry gun. |
RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
Add another yay to the list. I have the model 36 which is the slimline .45 and it has gone bang every single time. I have night sights and rubber grips on mine. I am thinking of trading it in for a G23 though because not many places carry stuff for the 36. We'll see

RE: Glocks... yay or nay?
Lead fouling in a smoothe, hammer forged, polyganal barrel?? That's one I haven't heard. I can understand pressure differencesbecause of Glock bore diameters though.I don't fire many cast loads but when I do, I spend more time cleaning lead out of my cut rifling barrels than my Glock barrels.
School me up on this one.
