I know the pros and cons to reloading a glock, but I am interested to see how many people actually do it. Seems to me that people either shoot tons of reloads or they won't do it at all. Really how does Glock know that you have been shooting reloads, when you bring it in on warrenty?
 
The one person I know of who shoots a glock reloads, but they also don't reload it very hot (.40, 180gr @ 700fps). He tells me brass is good for 2-3 loads, but everything past that is iffy. Just what I hear, as I don't own one.
 
I use a non-polygonal ss barrel from wolf when I shoot reloads thru the glock. Not a problem. Its not a hot load. HS6, 115gn fmj, start with 6.7-7.0 grains. gets you around 1188 fps. I reuse brass 3-4 times, then I chuckem.
 
I shoot a G17, nothing but reloads and I shoot them hot. Use jacketed bullets and you'll be fine. I have thousands of rounds through my Glock and USP (same type of barrel).
 
I have a first Gen Glock 17 that was my first gun I bought in 1990. Since then I have shot close to 100,000 rounds of everything through it, mostly relaods, and I have never had a problem with it. It still shoots great.
 
I reloaded lots for my G21 in major , worked great .
And now I'm reloading my G22 in minor , so far it works great .
Just use plated bullets , not lead .
 
Been using plated bullets for years reloading for Glocks at or near IPSC major. Thousands of rounds and no problems what so ever.

If reloading a .40S&W Glock, I recommend a Lee undersize sizing die to get rid of the Glock buldge.

I get five loadings with my brass before I toss it. I could probably get 10 loadings, but I have a pretty good supply a brass, so I will only load .40S&W a max of five times.
 
Tons, either Frontier plated or Montana Gold Jacketed bullets.
I use a Lee Crimp die at the end and case gauge all my ammo.
 
Unless you've got more money than you know what to do with - and if you do, call me, I'll help ease your burden. The standard advice with Glock pistols is NO LEAD BULLETS, plated or jacketed are cool. I know 2 shooters with over 10,000 rounds problem free through Glocks (with jacketed bullets) I put the Kaboom thing down to either lead bullets with no cleaning or asshat reloading techniques (no crimp/no charge check/300 reloads per case @ major 9 pressures/ and the ever popular 'you want me to inspect my cases?')
