IVI, as stated, some have no crimp but the mil spec has a crimp.
It's fine if you're using a Dillon 1050, as it has a primer pocket swager built in.
I agree with the CCI brass, but with the 40S&W, I've found it to have dished case heads.

S&b
I have beem using S&B (Sellier & Bellot) 9mm brass for 20 years with NO problems! The only brass I stopped using was Norinco and not because they did not word, they were just thinner than the rest and I don't like the Chinese!

Mixed Brass
I'd used mixed brass for my reloads.
However, I will sort out those fired with Glock pistols. Since the Glock has a much looser barrel, and some of my pistols have a match grade tighter barrel; those brass cases fired by Glock seems not to quite fit to the tighter barrel even resized by a Lee carbie die.
If you mainly used mixed brass exclusively for GLOCKs, then you don't have to worry about sorting them out. Glocks seems to take anything without any problems.

Glock 9mm barrels are fully supported.
All Glock barrels are not alike. Factory 9mm Glock barrels are fully supported, unlike their Glock 22 and Glock 21 barrels. Just don't shoot lead out of them.
My problem with Winchester brass cases, especially in 9mm, is the expansion of primer pockets. Short of counting or trying to count the extractor marks on the rim, I cannot tell how many times they have been fired, generally.
If I detect a wonky seat, usually I use a dental tool to test the seating quality. In many cases, the tool will push out the primer. That case is history.

Not quite; the term 'fully supported' and 'unsupported' are being used fairly losely. 9mm Glock has more chamber support than .40 but they are not as well supported as some other 9mm guns (M&P, Steyr M9, P226 etc) Personally I wouldn't call it fully supported.
