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

Glocks will lead foul very quickly, and firing a jacketed round can cause problems after shooting lead. Best solution is an after market barrel for shooting lead bullets.

This is because factory Glock barrels have hexagonal rifling that will lead foul quickly and can be hard to clean out(as with any hexagonal
rifled barrel).

Mix some Marvel Mystery Oil and Pb+ to your alloy mix and you'll be good to go! You'll probably get a million rounds under your belt before it needs to be replaced. (Still can't find the timing belt on my pistol!)
