I have been hearing for awhile from a great variety of sources about Glock's not fully supported chamber, at least in .40S&W. This ultimately made me not buy it and go with a Sig 226 instead.
However, Glock is a near-perfect gun otherwise, especially if one values reliability above all else and I am having thoughts of getting one. Besides unparalleled reliability, it has 3 more rounds in the same caliber which is a big plus too, IMHO. Glocks ugliness not being a factor, the only thing between me and a 40S&W Glock is its damn chamber issue (I am not going to buy a gun for which reloading is not an option). Does anyone know whether:
- Mr. Gaston Glock is aware of the problem and is looking to fix it? It would seem like a minor and fairly low-cost fix that would extend his brand's dominance even further
- Would there be a way to get a 3rd party barrel that would not have this issue? I know this is the way to get around the polygonal rifling if one is to shoot lead from a Glock
Thanks
