[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1311487, member: 807"] Definitely go with an aftermarket barrel if you are going to shoot reloads in a glock 40 or 45. If you look at the cases from a stock glock, you will notice a bulge at the 6:00 position. This is from the feed ramp cut in the barrel. Glock for some reason moves the feed ramp to a position that leaves the case in front of the web unsupported by chamber. When you resize brass you work harden it. Virgin brass is ductile (soft) enough to expand in that area and not rupture. When brass has been work hardened, it is more brittle and more likely to rupture where it is unsupported. I thinned the glock herd to a single glock 22 and I have lone wolf barrels in both 40 and 357 sig for it. They provide standard cut rifling with lands and grooves instead of the polygonal bore that you find on the factory glock barrel, and they fully support the case in the chamber. If you shoot resized brass in an unmodified glock, you will eventually get one that ruptures and blows out the bottom. Do a web search on Glock Kaboom for more information. Good luck..
