I know this has been beat to death. And I know most cast for there Glock pistols, but I want to put this out there a little different, as in Glock pistol specific.
This being, an early model Glock model 22.
In this gun you have the polygonal barrel as with all Glocks, which increases pressure in the barrel design. And can increase the potential for leading. Which would greatly increase the pressure of the already high pressure 40 S&W round,
In the early Glocks you have the defect of firing out of Battery, so minimal leading or bullet lube build up could cause, an out of battery firing,
The early Glock 22 unsupported barrel issue seems to be greater than the newer versions.
In my Glock 22 Mid range loaded brass needs to be run threw the Redding G-RX die, which in turn work hardens the base of the brass making it likely to fail in this area.
It just seems to me shooting lead in the early Glocks 22 would not be worth the risk.
I know this will cause a controversy but, I am talking about only the early model Glock 22 in 40S&W.
