I know that according to most lead and Glocks don't mix. But way back in the 90's before anyone knew any better I used to shoot whatever was at hand in my Glock 22 and my Glock 27 as well as my Glock 17. My Dad did alot of reloading so I ended up putting alot of lead down both with no trouble, some times as many as 100 - 150 at a time.
Now I will be the first to admit that I wouldn't be to eager to push a .40 or a 9mm Glock like that these days, I even witnessed a Glock 9mm Kaboom at a IPSC match several years ago, but what about a .45? It has lower pressure, lower velocity and it is not generally thought of as being as prone to KB's as 9mm and .40.
I clean my gun after EVERY range session so I don't see excessive lead build up coming into play.
I know there are other barrels with standard rifling ect, ect, but I wonder if it really is neccesary. It seems like good gun maintenance would do the trick.
Does anyone do it? I'm thinking that short sessions of 100 rounds or so oughta be okay. Thoughts?
