Hey guys. I have a M&P pro and a JR Carbine, and just acquired a G17. I reload 9mm on a LNL AP. What I want to be able to do is what I do now, load a bunch of 9mm, goto the range and use the ammo in either gun.

Have read a bunch about the glock and the unsupported and loose chamber. What I definitely don't want to do is segregate the glock brass from the other. I know glocked brass is more of a problem in 40's and earlier Glocks.

Will I have to do anything different than I do now? Will I need to get an EGW undersized sizing die or load my cases fewer times or is this all Internet rumors gone crazy?

Glock will be here in a week and I want to get anything else I need I at the same time.

Thanks guys.

Never had any problems with my Glock and any brass.
Its a gen 3.5 9mm and I've never noticed any bulges, I'm sure I'm on the 4th reload on a lot of my brass, and it feeds and fires 100%. Resized with a Lee carbide sizing die.
I heard it's more of a problem in earlier Glock .40s as well.
Use your'e caliper and check for any gross discrepencies but I think you won't have any problems.
 
The Glocked brass, and unsupported chamber issues are with the G22 in .40 S&W. Possible with really high pressure rounds I guess but can't say I have ever seen it with my 2 G17's and thousands of rounds.

I have never had an issue with my G17, and reloading the brass, as well as firing those same reloads in other guns.

Do you guys keep track of how many firings the brass has or just inspect it? I'm using Hornady Carbide dies, wonder if maybe I should get the Lee die?
Click to expand...

Hornady new dimension dies work great from my limited experiance in 10mm... Going to a set of Lee's would be a couple steps backwards IMHO, if in doubt get the Lee factory crimp die... I have been loading really REALLY hot 10mm loads in new Hornady brass, one pass thru the FL Hornady die irons the glock smile out, a quick trip thru the Lee factory crimp die to smooth out the case flare on the rim and I have yet to have the carbide size ring in the FCD touch a case... As always YMMV
