    Yup glock is striker fired and cases fired in them
    All look like this it is normal.

    YET ANOTHER REASON PRIMERS ARE POOR INDICATORS OF ANYTHING BUT IGNITION.

    Thank you. I’ve just not seen any primers like that.

    For full power loads, rifle rounds get rifle primers, but the reduced ones I have found for me require no special treatment.
    Interesting!
    Whatever!

    But could a person use small pistol magnum primers in a pinch?
    Yes they can and very possibly give you better accuracy than a small rifle primer.

    I think you are fine. I've done the reverse by accident, and all 20-30 rounds fired completely normal. Just take your time and be cautious. I think there's a lot of hype around primer use that's not completely founded in reality. Be safe and have fun!
