Kaboom'd Pistol

Because the Glock version of polygonial rifling doesn't like lead. The barrels supposedly lead quicker. I have a Tanfoglio in .40cal with polygonial rifling and I have yet to see a whisker of leading in the barrel.

Glock 40 + Lead bullets and no cleaning = Kaboom.

Take Care

Am I the only one who finds it odd that a brand new member, who doesn't even bother to post in the intro forum, posts his very first post about a sensitive issue like a Glock KB?

Really?

The original question about proper disposal seems like a pretext given he could've gotten a straight simple answer by calling the CFC.

Doesn't pass the sniff test.
 
You haven't bathed in a week, that's different.

Seriously though, was your very first post on a volatile subject such as this, supposedly to get an answer to a question that should be asked of the CFC?

Seems weird to me is all...

Maybe because he actually had a Glock KB on him!

IIRC it has to do with the supposed feeding ramp issues in some of the glock calibers. Some say it makes them more prone to hang ups. Still the kabooms are VERY rare and the jury is still out on the ramp issues.

im pretty sure it's actually because the polygonal rifling is supposedly prone to leading easier than rifled and especially in the g22 and g20 since the 40cal bullet is being pushed at high velocities (higher than 9mm and 45acp at least). gummed up barrel would result in kabooms. The g22 is the most kaboomed of all glocks :stirthepot:

Hell ya. Un jacketed bullets are a no no in glocks. He was asking about wad cutters which come jacketed also. It's the squared off shape that the complaint started from.

I think i might need glasses
but are you saying the .40 are of higher velocities then 9mm .
 
10mm= .40
I admit my punctuation is incorrect, I meant to say the 10mm round is at higher vel
 
I'm not a huge Glock fan but I don't hate them either, it seems to me that the magic combination with the Glock is: a) 40 S&W, b) Lead bullet reloads, and c) less than antiseptic cleaning standards (normally much less). I think guys get sucked into the whole "It's a Glock, you don't have to clean it" thing and forget that the 50,000 round tests are all done with factory ammo, so here's a suggestion from a guy who has actually held a Kaboomed Glock - if you're going to shoot lead in a Glock, you have to CLEAN THE EFFING THING.
