Glock and Lead Rounds

 by Johnny45 ¦  Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:55 am ¦  Forum: Pistol ¦  Topic: Glock and Lead Rounds ¦  Replies: 9 ¦  Views: 2653

I am thinking of purchasing a Glock 23 in .40. A fried told me that Glocks do not like lead bullets. As a reloader I would be looking to shoot lead bullets. Does anyone know if Glocks have problems handling lead rounds?


Thanks
