Well reloading would be fine, as long as you use jacketed rounds... (you can use lead just clean often).

Did you pay less for the American made Glock?
Top loading is totally and completely different than reloading.

Do you mean actually loading a single round directly into the barrel?
Yes. With the slide back, magazine or no, dropping a round in through the top and dropping the slide. This is a Serious No-No with Glocks. Totally fine with most rifles and shotguns, but a very bad idea with Glocks. (and many other pistols for that matter)

I can understand with a shotgun or rifle but why would someone do that on any handgun, except maybe the Beretta 92..
10+1. To load a glock to 10+1, you've got to put a mag in, rack the slide, pull the mag out, replace the round you just put into the chamber, put the mag back into the gun. So people will topload to save effort loading that 10th round into the mag, since that 10th round is always a pain to load.

I see... not a good habit that's for sure.
That is the dumbest manual of arms. If you can't load all ten in the mag, you need to hit the gym or buy a loading tool. Chambering then releasing the mag to top up is both the correct manual of arms as well as the correct(normal) way to load an auto.
Loading through the e port is an emergency option or used for setting up a type 3 stoppage.

I would agree that there just might be something wrong with the magazines. I suggest drilling and re pining them. Regardless, another piece of equipment failing does not validate doing stupid things like e port loading your pistol to "top up".

I'm completely shocked.......
That you had 400 trouble free rounds...
PFFFFF! sounds like you know what youre talking about. Good things break too. Somebody who does know about Glocks would have no problem believing ive fired about 4500 rds without the slightest hiccup.
