Love how everyone blames the chamber, when this is ammo that shouldn't be shot in a Glock. Clean that barrel out and get proper jacketed ammo.
I did. It was a PITA too. No more lead in OEM glock barrels for me.Be sure you get ALL of the lead out of that barrel before you shoot the gun again, especially if you're going to shoot jacketed rounds. ALL of it, not just most of it.
I don't think DT issues warnings about shooting it specifically in Glocks...when this is ammo that shouldn't be shot in a Glock.
They don't. In fact, they specifically say it's OK in Glocks. Glock, however, has a markedly different opinion on the topic.I don't think DT issues warnings about shooting it specifically in Glocks...
Getting off topic here, as expected, but I just wanted to clarify: are you saying my barrel was clogged with lead before I shot these? Because it wasn't. It was clean. You can armchair quarterback all you want but the chamber and barrel were clean and have never had lead shot through them before.Pretty sure my Glock's manual specifically said not to use this. It also mentioned cleaning the barrel every once in a while.
You can' run +++P++++ in a barrel clogged with lead. These are the results.
I don't know how you cleaned the barrel, but here's an easy way to get all the lead out:I did. It was a PITA too. No more lead in OEM glock barrels for me.
I used that method to clean my .458 barrel after shooting a bunch of poorly fitting bullets in it, works great!I don't know how you cleaned the barrel, but here's an easy way to get all the lead out:
Wrap a section of copper mesh (Chore Boy) around a bronze brush - enough so it is a very tight fit. Push it in & out of the barrel DRY...NO solvent. You won't believe how much lead slivers come out of that "clean" barrel. You can't damage the barrel that way; the copper is much softer than the barrel. Think about how much harder on the barrel firing the gun is. (I got that tip from a video by Bill Wilson - it came with my CQB).
No big surprise.. you knew it was a Glock issue before you ever hit send...Doubletap reply FWIW
