[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2136336, member: 807"] The issue with reloads and glocks is more about the lack of proper support for the cartridge in the web area in Glock pistols than the polygonal rifling. I have owned several glocks and went the route of buying after market barrels (Lone Wolf in my case) for each of them. If you look at the fired brass from a glock, you will see a bulge at the 6:00 position. When Glock designed the pistol, they chose to move the feed ramp forward into the chamber which results in the bulge you see on glock fired brass. When you fire virgin brass in a glock, it has the elasticity to stretch without rupturing. Resized brass is work hardened to the point that when fired in a glock it [U][/U][I][/I][B]may[/B] rupture. If you do a search on Glock Kaboom you will find lots of differing opinion about what is happening. I had an HK USP with poly rifling and shot many lead bullets through it. It did lead a little worse than the standard cut rifling, but was still safe to shoot. Of all the centerfire glock pistols, the 9mm suffers the least from that malady. [/QUOTE]
