Here's a .45acp round in my Glock 30 Gen 2.5 . There is a lot of unsupported case that is exposed. I know that .45acp doesn't have as much pressure as the .40S&W but I have more case support in my Glock 22 than this Glock 30 . You think shooting reloads in this is ok ?

   What frame portion are you talking about ?

Awesome ! Glad for you prag :up:

   "90 and got one eye lookin off to the left "    :rofl:  that's hilarious and so true !

I may just take out my barrels and look at their support. I have a 24 yr old Glock 17 and a 21 year old G21 . I have heard that the newer Glock barrels have more support than the older ones. I may just shoot the reloads in the newer ones and leave my older ones to factory ammo.

I just looked at KKM website and they state that their barrels are made for reloading and they don't state anything wrong with shooting reloads.  Bad thing is that they are a lot higher in price.

Anyone else shoot reloads in a Lone Wolf barrel in their Glock ? Are they functioning good and cycling the slide and feeding good ?  I have a G17 and a G22 . Now I think I am wanting to get the 9-40 conversion barrel and use it in my G22 to shoot my reloads and just to have an "extra" 9mm handgun with the change of a barrel .

I am still new to reloading and I am presently reloading 9mm. I am about to get me a set of .45ACP dies to reload .45acp .I have a few hundred .45acp rounds now and I just noticed some have small primers and others have large primers. My questions is are company's moving toward smaller primers in .45acp or what ? I would have never noticed this until now since I am reloading .

I have the same 2.7 liter in my Tacoma too. LOVE IT!!! Mines a 4WD extra cab and I like it better than any American truck there is. Mine is 12 years old now and the best trucl I ever had . [URL=http://s768.photobucket.com/user/tercel89/media/taco_zps5xztw7to.jpg.html][/URL]

I'm a huge Glock fan and owner too and I'm very interested. My two favorite are my Gen 2 17 and my Gen 2.5 30 (no rail) . I use the heck out of mine too and they have scars and scratches and marks. I no longer believe in "safe queens" . My Springfield Armory 1911 gets just as much work and has a few marks on it too. It's amazing at how some people are scared to get a little dirt or scratch on their guns.

prag , let us all know what happens and what Glock does for you .

I read another article on this polymer Beretta and it says that the removable "firing mechanism" thing or guts , were complex and would make it hard to get into it to mod or to add this and that like you can do to Glocks and M&P's .  If this is true then it's kinda depressing. I was hoping that this gun would be a nice, easy , very few parts and a simple gun to modify and play with like the M&P and Glock.

   Ok great , so good ole FMJ round nose 9mm bullets will do fine in the factory barrel and the brass will be good to reload afterwards ?

So far I just plan on shooting full metal jacketed (target rounds) out of it . Should I be good to go with those out of the factory Glock barrel ?

The unsupported chamber was why I was asking. I dont rememeber seein that much buldge at all but that was before I started reloading and knew what to look for . I may just get me a barrel . I had a Lone Wolf 40-9 conversion barrel for my G22 and it was great . What problems did you have that put Lone Wolf on the bottom of your list ?

Do any of you guys use a Lone Wolf barrel in your Glocks to prevent the Glocks from deforming the brass ? I am now reloading 9mm  and wonder if it would be worth it to purchase a Lone Wolf barrel . I haven't looked at my 9mm brass from my Glock since I have been reloading to see if it is really that bulged at the bottom.  Any thoughts ?

Glock 17 and/or Ruger SP101 in .357mag

I like the looks of it very much. Especially the ridges cut into the slide all the way down it's length. I would like to see how the slide rails are put into the frame. Hopefully it becomes a good reliable pistol.

   I still have one of your G30's and carry it on my days off work all the time :up:

   I learned the hard way ha , ha

Norinco , nice !

   Stars are nice !

 I think I rememeber you telling me about it

Prayers sent ! :up: I don't have a father so I pray the best for you ! God is good !

Have you ever had a .45 ACP that you wished you kept ? I had a Stoeger Cougar full size .45 ACP and it was one of the best and most accurate pistols in .45 ACP that I ever had ! It was more reliable and accurate than a Sig P220 . Man I miss that gun. I got on a kick where I got rid of the guns that I had that had too many springs and levers and all. I like pistols like a Glock to where there is very few parts and very few things to go wrong . I still don't like guns with lots of moving parts but that Stoeger Cougar was AWESOME ! Here's my Cougar with my buddy Burley . [url=http://s768.photobucket.com/user/tercel89/media/001-4.jpg.html][/URL]
