Anyone notice that cases fired in .45 Glocks are difficult to resize ?

I’ve loaded quite a few out of a G30sf and a G36 and never noticed any difference from my 1911’s.
Me neither. I don't own a Glock 45 but I have loaded a lot of brass with the Glock firing pin strike on them. Never noticed any issue.
No problems at all sizing cases from a buddy's 45acp Glock.
Lots of variables here. Glock chambers are usually on the large size, so Glock brass plus a tight resizing die could result in extra pressure required to resize the brass. The brand of brass could also play a role. Not all brass is created equal, some are thicker than others, some alloys are harder than others. Then there are the steel cases, which some are plated with brass, making them look like regular brass cases.
Has your brass been cleaned? Try a little spray lube even if you are resizing with Carbide dies!

Agree a little Hornady One Shot works great for resizing pistol brass even with carbide dies. No you don't have to use it but it makes it that much easier when resizing.

Tough 45ACP
Jimmyj, How are you doing? I see you are still “Hanging
Tough”. I hope this Thread finds you in good health.
From what I understand about Glock, does that 45 have
the unsupported chamber, thus causing a bulge by the
Rim of the empty cartridge?
Is that’s what’s causing the problem in resizing?
