Hi,
I am considering buying a semi-auto handgun in .40. Initially, I thought
a Glock was a no-brainer, until someone pointed out to me that Glocks
have issues with handloads (not in the sense that the manufacturer
dislaims the warranty if you use them, I guess that's an issue with any
guns, even Mosin Nagants), but that its chamber is such that the
brass gets deformed badly during the shot, etc. I also saw something
about polygonal rifling not being good for reloads (didn't quite understand
why).
I was wondering if someone could please share knowledge/tips on what
moderately priced (i.e. the $1000+ 1911s are out of my price range)
semi-autos in .40 are a good choice that would work reasonably
well with reloaded ammo, not just factory-made and won't destroy
the brass.
Many thanks in advance
