Oh learned ones,

I'm usually here and there on the Rifles portion, but this one is a Glock question, so I'm over hear for good advice.

A friend recently came upon a 10mm Glock. This G20 is an early one (no rail, no drop free mags - circa 1993), but has been fired little and well cared for. However, it fired some lead bullets. I would estimate several hundred AT MOST. Likely less than 250. It also had perhaps twice that number of jacketed rounds fired through it. I know that this is a roughly accurate count since the original owner was another friend.

My question is this: does anything special need to be done to remove any residual leading in order to avoid the potential overpressure problem w/Glock barrels and lead bullets?

Would just normal cleaning and only jacked bullets from here out be OK? This will likely be shot with mainly full house 10mm loads, so my friend wants to know for sure that he's in good territory.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Get a good lead solvent and scrub it good. If you look down the barrel lead build up is usually visable ahead of the chamber in a ring. Clean it up good, also check to make sure the barrel is not bulged. The quickest way is to stip the gun, and insert the barrel into the slide from the front. Move it in and out. If it's buldged this should tell you as you'll feel it.

All the best

Might also use the Lewis Lead Remover or Hoppe's clone, about $10, as a chaser. You can also use a copper Chore-Boy sponge, but it doesn't work quite as well.

Should you or anyone need a Glock .45/10mm single mag/surefire
holder (Bianchi). Please contact me. They cost about $45.00. I'll sell it for
cheap. I no longer have my Glock 30. I sold it a few days before
the pouch arrived. I decided not to buy a Glock 10mm.
