When I was laoding .40S&W, there was a lot of talk about "Glock bulge" .I ran EVERY piece of brass through a bulge buster. 45acp is a lower pressure round, does it bulge like .40?
Depends what position you carry it in. IWB at 12, definitely.
Glocks have always used unsupported chambers with ooser SAAMI spec diameters to make their pistols so reliable and still functional after dragging them through the dirt, sand and mud. Just give them a brush or dunk rinse them off and get back to work.
As far as I can remember since the G22 Grenade days, Glock has stressed no Reloaded Ammo, Factory Only.
I used to sell at local shows aftermarket barrels w/threaded compensators for competition guns that had a supported and tighter chambers than OEM Glocks due to this fact.
So for TL,DR guys, Don't shoot reloads out of any OEM Glock, shoot factory. If you want to shoot reloads, go get a Lone Wolf or similar barrel.
Early GLOCKs had different chambers specs, they changed them around 2005-ish when the large frame SF models came out, 40 and 10 models changed the most. The chambers are still relatively large, but not unusual, similar specs to many other service pistols.Glocks have always used unsupported chambers with ooser SAAMI spec diameters to make their pistols so reliable and still functional after dragging them through the dirt, sand and mud.
