Spare in the Hospital

[tsubaki]

I've finally took the time to actually research the Glops instead of letting opinions prejudge me.
I'm actually very impressed with them and would definitely consider a Model 20 although just a few more mm's of barrel length would make me happier.
I completely agree with willy however as with most things I'll bastardize stuff in a flash.
This is what I've determined.
The factory barrels "will" shoot lead stuff fine and without hazard "if" you are diligent to remove the lead deposits. Seems the rifling design accumulates lead more readily than others normal barrels. A replacement barrel for the constant use of lead stuff would be a better idea.
The reloaded ammo "will" be fine "if" you follow correct reloading basics of brass inspection and preparation. The unsupported chamber will show defects of the brass in a most negative way through rupture.
The combined two designs can easily cause major problems due to improper maintenance and defective reloading procedures.
I'm still impressed with the Glocks but have no real physical basis for this.
