    Glock barrel for lead

    Any glock lovers out there that know of a good barrel for glock 26 in order to shoot cast lead? I see one over at stormlake... just not sure if its made for cast bullets. Doesn't say much about the rifling.

    Lol. I saw this topic and then immediately thought of you and all of the Glock barrel stuff you've looked at (and reported on).

    I have much better in my g22 and g35 with my Storm lake and KKM barrels in 40. I always have leading issues with the Glock 40 barrels.
    In 9mm I like both my storm lake and lone wolf.
    In my Glock21SF the factory barrel is allsum.
    That said I have never ran cast in a glock 9mm barrel.

    Are the Storm Lake's rifled or hexed?

    NM storm lake states their barrels are cut broach rifled to shoot jacketed or lead bullets.

    Had good luck with the factory barrel in my 26 with bullets sized to .358.

    Just make sure your expanding your case enough to keep it from swaging your bullet when you seat them and use a good lube and you shouldn't have any trouble running a factory barrel.
