I have read numerous threads on many forums and yes my Glock manual and they all conclude that you *should* only fire Factory Ammo in Glocks? Although yes I know many fire other 'loads' with few if any issues...

Anyhow..

Are Factory Made +P+ in Glock calibers from various manufacturers considered factory ammo?
How about Buffalo Bore 220grn 10mm Heavy Outsdoorsman ammo - they considered factory?

So those exampled Factory Ammo's will not affect the warranty on a stock Glock....yes I have read about heavier springs, different barrels - but I mean use in a plain stock Glock...

I understand that some can overcharge or make their hand loads a little 'too hot'...but really where is the line here?

Can some *Factory Made* ammo be outside (too hot, too heavy) the intended meaning from Glock in as far as the instruction to fire only factory made ammo...?
 
Glock is really just trying to limit and reduce their liability should you get hurt shooting one of their guns. If the gun blows up and hurts you glock has limited or reduced its liability if it was due to factory ammunition. There's one more company that can be blamed for the incident.

The second reason is for damage to the gun itself. Glock knows that the chances of factory ammunition being made incorrectly and causing their gun to blow up is a lot less likely than from a possibly inexperienced reloader.
 
Factory ammo is manufactured using never-fired brass, in industrial ammo loading equipment, using tested and QC'd components according to SAAMI pressure specs.

Plus what the other posters said above

My vote goes along the lines of what carsmovies said. If the ammo was produced by a business entity that carries liability insurance covering the making of ammunition, it is factory ammo. The components don't need to be new, the pressures don't have to be limited by SAAMI, nobody has to look over their shoulder to make sure quality control is there. All that matters is there be a company name willing to take some responsibility for it.

Good comment and thanks.
Perhaps Glock should sell Glock ammo....that would relieve all their downside....'_)
 
Lawyer speak for CYA. Glock like all other firearm mfr just want to protect themselves with the safest option being factory ammo.
 
This Anaconda, according to the owner, blew up using factory Winchester SuperX ammo, shown in picture. Colt blamed the ammo and Winchester blamed the gun. It was apparently ongoing when he left the shop, but Winchester eventually admitted fault.
