Lead bullets in P365

[gbw]

I’ve a couple of these and a pile of old lead bullet 9mm ammo - reloads. Can’t use them in Glocks.

Aside from the obvious that they gunk up the gun and make it harder to clean, anyone know of a reason not to use them in the P365?

nope, then after you shoot them get some coated ones.

I haven't used lead but they should be fine. The P365 doesn't use polygonal rifling.

I haven't used lead, but I do coat my own 120gr cast bullets and it operates no different than FMJ. I shoot at an indoor range, so it's nice not shooting smokey handloads.

I don’t own a Glock or other type of pistol with polygonal rifling.

I shoot lead bullets quite often in handguns of all types: revolvers and semiautos. Before the 1890s or so just about all pistol ammo had lead bullets. With a little care (such as trying to push a soft swaged lead wadcutter at Magnum velocity), I get little to no leading.

I've run a couple hundred through mine with no issues. Just trying to burn up all the smokey lead bullets I have. (about 500 more to shoot). It will be all coated or plated bullets from now on for me. As a matter of fact, I'm taking my 365 and my P320 M17 to the range tonight with mtm box full of them.

I've shot PC ones thru mine with no issue.
