Mark,
The reason for the thread isn't to point a finger at the Glock, but then again, I don't try to run 10mm type of rounds through my 40S&W either.

Much like your truck, you don't put JP5 airplane fuel in it either!


To others:

That is the point of the thread.

Know the tool, work within it's parameters. Then safety can be complete.

If they foul up after they are supremely dirty, don't let them get that way. If they blow up when too fast of a powder is used, don't use too fast of a powder.

I hope that explains my reason for posting this. I have, and so have others, loaded thousands upon thousands of rounds that have been fired safely in a Glock. I/We will continue to do so too. We will just do it with knowledge and not ignorantly.

This is not a Glock bashing thread. Please don't post those types of posts.

The main reason being is that I have a son that depends on his G22 everyday to protect his life while serving as a Deputy Sheriff.

Maybe what we need to bring out is the engineering flaw/idiosyncrasies that bring about the possibility of these kinds of things happening more frequently per design.

I know that I had a KB in a Browning High Power for that explicit reason, unsupported chamber and an over pressure round.

What about the 38Super. Were there any problems when that round came out?
