@Redhawk100 is correct. Jacketed bullets are fine. Lead is an issue. It’s worth the hassle to get polygonal rifling. A Glock barrel lasts forever and is easy to clean…if you are in to all that cleaning stuff.

@rmichael63 is waiting on the new Glock coming out in 41 magnum. Then he will come out of the closet faster than Sam Briton.
YES, I am into all that cleaning stuff !!! :cool:

My wife has been known to paint my toe nails cherry red, if I fall asleep during a movie on TV. Then not telling me.

Several years back, she did this a few days before I left for a four day motorcycle rally in the Smoky Mountains. I left my toes looking purdy. I walked around the Rally in flip flops several times.

Years later I still have a tarnished reputation over it.

Going to take the Glock and all the parts to the range and if it turns out that the Factory Parts work better then
so be it. All I want is a reliable small form fit 45 ACP that I can make my own bullets for. In CA you can't always get
factory ammunition anymore and at some point I am going to have to order big on the makings so I don't have to
worry about some new stupid gun laws that might come up. :sneaky:

I think the comment about reloads in Glock barrels has more to do with the use of lead bullets than just reloads in general. The polygonal rifling of the Glock barrels is apparently not the best with pure lead projectiles, probably because the lead is likelier to leave bad streaks on the flats of the polygonal rifling.
Awesome. never shoot straight lead anyhow, no need to. Same with the DE50 AE, polygonal rifling, very accurate too.

KKM is my top choice for barrels.
You're going to love that setup.
KKM Precision...they make some really nice barrels...and they're accurate too!
I have a 30SF that has a KKM Precision XL barrel (4.5" or same as Glock 21) and a 24# recoil spring in it and it'll shoot .45 Super and .450 SMC (from Double Tap Ammo.)
It kicks a bit but otherwise it makes for a good hiking pistol...at least east of the Mississippi.

You funny ... but then again I am always looking for a 41 magnum ... 🤔🤔🤔
Well they made a desert eagle in 41 magnum which is a semi auto. however you better work some overtime if you want one. I thought I read about a 41 AE kit that fits my uzi, which duplicates the 41 magnum. Here you go....




However both I own the 50ae, and the full size uzi are both north of 2k nowadays.

New barrel and spring are here. Now need to get to the range and see if it works.
Will be taking the Wife and her 38 SPL so she can see if that shoots better. 🤞

If I Were Given a Glock, I'd sell it. Just My Humble Opinionn as a Combat Infantryman, Hunter, Reloader, and Collector of 50yrs.
To each His own. Enjoy

Funny enough, I used my G21 to get in a record qualification because the training unit to which I was assigned didn't have ammo to support a qualification that was supposed to happen. Because my follow-on assignment was to an active combat theater, I had to have a current qualification on record, even though it was in a country outside a location where actual combat was occurring.

I just grabbed up the PSG for the careerist platoon, and he was nice enough to come record my performance on the standard Qual tables with a standard Qual target at the local range on a Saturday. Common-sense senior NCOs are some of our military's best assets.
