Will encapsulated bullets work in guns with polygon rifling like Glocks and Kahrs?

  Assuming you mean the plated bullets like Rainier and Berry's, or the jacketed bullets with closure plugs in the base like the Hornadys I am using...
  Yes.

  They should work fine in a Glock.
  
  If I understand these right, they're basically ordinary jacketed bullets, but the jacket also encloses the bullet base so there is no exposed lead at all.

  I have shot tons of copper plated bullets thru my glocks. I have driven them almost as fast as jacketed bullets also with no gas check and have never leaded a barrel.In the clocks especally the 45 auto you have to watch the cases for a buldge right before the rim as that area is not supported by the barrel and they buldge at the ramp side and the sizing die does not completely remove the buldge and it becomes a weak spot. You should only reload the cases once if you shoot them in the glock. I had one of the buldges blow out in my glock before i found the problem and it broke the mag catch and blew the mag out and i replaced it. I also shoot the CCL in my inland carbine with no problems.
