I have 3rd generation Glock 23 that I want to do a little upgrading to and start reloading for.
First, I want to put a heavier recoil spring in it and possibly a steel guide rod. What weight spring is standard with the 23 (.40 S&W) and what strength spring would be recommended if I wanted to go just a little heavier?
Second, what shortcomings does the Glock have as far as reloading the .40 round goes? I have read that the Glock chamber is not as supported as most other pistols and that this makes reloading more of an issue.
How many reloads could I expect to get out of once fired brass? Would it be worth it to buy the stuff to load .40 (I already load other rounds) or is the Glock too hard on brass?
BTW - I know I have to stick with jacketed bullets only.
