I've been told factory Glocks don’t handle lead cast bullets very well. I was wondering if the precision bullets are suitable for glocks?

precision bullets and glocks

The Precision bullet is about all I shoot in Glocks. shh don't tell my Glocks they aren't suppose to shoot them.
You get some of the coating in the barrel but no problem. They will lead the end of the barrel if you shoot a ported barrel which will strip off the coating. I have no concern with leading. They work great and are economical compared to jacketed or the coated bullets.

not to worry
I shoot huge quantities of lead bullets in 9m/m, 40 cal and 45 acp in my Glocks, no problems ever and I'm gonna keep doing it.

Thank you sir, I've actually placed my order for them.pistolchamp wrote:I shoot huge quantities of lead bullets in 9m/m, 40 cal and 45 acp in my Glocks, no problems ever and I'm gonna keep doing it.
I must say the response to the question in other forums has been interesting, I think I can safely state that 9 out of ten glocks run lead fine, and then there seems to be 1 in 10 that just lead up like crazy. I think those are the ones loading near max velocities, something I don’t do.
It is my understanding that the problem with glocks and lead can be a real problem.
My understanding is: if you only shoot plated/jacketed bullets through a glock barrel no problem. If you only shoot lead/moly through the barrel no problem.
Shooting lead through a glock barrel allows lead to build up but shooting additional lead is no problem because the lead is "softer" and no excessive pressure is built up. It is my understanding that when the lead builds up and then you shoot the "harder" jacketed/plated bullets, they can build up excessive pressure and result in barrel failure.
Just what I was told, but there is enough information on other sites that when I went to the "black bullet", I put a replacement barrel in my Glocks.

Thanks Solaritix
I'll add for others one other thing, well two.
I'm told, when shooting raw lead (that is self cast un coated) if you use the STRONG lead solvents and do the heavy cleaning the lead will not build up.
2nd I ordered my bullets from precesion about a month ago and they are still on back order !!! It apears they have a 6- 8 week back log.
