Glock 20 SF kBoom an experience I hope never to repeat!

[Weevil]

Absolutely and utterly not true.

Then why is the OP posting about a Glock KB???

Why is it you can't got to a gun forum without hearing about some guy getting a Glock KB using reloads?

Why did Glock increase the chamber support on the .40 barrels???

And yet...it happens in guns other than Glocks....what is your explanation for that?

Did I say Glocks were the only gun that had KBs?

It can happen with any gun using reloads but if you haven't noticed there is a much higher incIdence of people reporting Glock KBs, websites and videos dedicated to Glock KBs, and documented evidence of LEAs having KBs.

What's more the OP is reporting about a KB with a GLOCK not some "other" gun!

What is your explanation for that???

You don't care how many thousands of reloads, thousands of people put through their Glocks every year?

Sounds to me like you are the one ignoring evidence...not the other way around.

How many reloads did the OP have through his Glock before it KBed?

What about all those other people reporting KBs with reloads through their Glocks???

Who's ignoring the evidence???

Reloading for a Glock is just like reloading for any other gun. You need to pay attention to the condition of your brass, and you need to work up to your loads and not go beyond pressure signs. I wouldn't shoot full power reloads in any plinking gun...what is the point other than putting wear on your gun and brass and wasting powder?

No it isn't.

Very few commonly used pistols have polygonal rifling or as loose of a chamber or as much exposed brass as a Glock chamber.

Can it be done?

Yes if extreme caution is used and you are very careful and keep in mind it's not "just like other guns", and that you have a much smaller margin of error.

But it is NOT "just like reloading for any other gun".

It requires much more frequent cleaning of the barrel especially if lead bullets are used. Brass will wear out much quicker due to the looser chamber, and weak brass is more likely to fail due to less chamber support.

Glocks in .40 and 10mm may be harder on brass...but that is why you inspect it before you reload it.

Wait a minute. didn't you just say, "Reloading for a Glock is just like reloading for any other gun."

Now you're saying Glocks are harder on the brass?

How can it be just like any other gun but yet be harder on the brass than other guns???

Doesn't it make more sense to use a gun that isn't as hard on the brass or an aftermarket barrel that isn't as hard on the brass to shoot reloads out of???

Why would you insist on using a gun that is known for being hard on brass and is well known for causing brass cases to blow out, to shoot reloads???

If you're gonna do it fine, but don't kid yourself that, "it's just like reloading for any other gun", cause it's not, and don't whine about it on the internet when you finally do get a case that blows out.

Would a Mod. please have mercy on our souls and move this to re-loading section?
