I have steered clear of lead in my glocks for sometime now, until today.
I recieved a sample pack of lead bullets and included were 15 125g CN bullets. So I though, "lets give it a whirl"
I used the same powder charge that I use on plated bullets and I have to say WOW. At 18 yards, impressive.
I shot the first round, checked the case, checked the bore and the chamber, no signs of over pressure, no lead what so ever in the barrel.
I then felt comfortable enough to shoot 4 more for a total of 5 through, checked again, no lead, no pressure, 4 more great hits.
I continued to shoot the rest of the mag for a total of all 15. Checked everything again, no lead in chamber, a slight dullness to about the first 1/16" of the rifling. Coulple swipes with bore brush and solvent, good as new.
This gun has never shot so great, I have shot plated and jacketed, worked up loads and so on, but I think this load of 5.3g unique under this bullet is the cats meow.
Now don't get me wrong im still a little gun shy (no pun intended) about lead in glocks so im going to order some more and keep shooting and checking the bore until I don't feel comfortable with the leading anymore or until about 300 rounds or so. If I can shoot 300 rounds with peace of mind of it not firing out of battery that is all I need. This was in a 2009 model glock 19 gen 3 by the way.
