As long as they're jacketed. You might have issues with lead [:D].0 -

You should have no problems running any standard jacketed load, except *maybe* really weak target type loads.
If you want max reliability and good terminal performance, a good option is NATO spec rounds. Those are 124 grain ball (ie fully jacketeD) rounds loaded to +P type pressures, as the name suggests they're NATO standard 9mm ammo, and they run just about every military/service style 9mm gun just fine.
EDIT:
To be clear, Glocks will run fine with non-jacketed bullets (ie pure lead), but the polygonal rifled barrels tend to lead up the barrels faster/more than the traditional cut ones, and this can lead to various issues (including lack of accuracy, and potential overpressure). Glock and every authority say NOT to run unjacketed bullets in their guns for this reason.
I don't think I've ever actually seen a commercial NON-jacketed 9mm luger load. . .at least not one by a major manufacturer.
If you want to run non-jacketed bullets (mostly because you're reloading and they're cheaper), then you can buy a relatively inexpensive drop-in barrel with conventional rifling that will let you do that safely.0 -
My Glocks have had no problem with any commercial 9mm ammo I've used, including the Federal aluminum cased ones I use in matches. 0 -
Most manufacturers say not to shoot reloads at all.
I shoot coated bullets which cost less than jacketed or plated and do not lead. One brand, it would take 20,000 rounds to save the cost of a new barrel to shoot wax lubed lead.0
