Are These Safe In Glocks?
I just bought my first Glock a few days ago.It.s a model 21.I have heard not to use cast bullets but I have a box of 500 Berrys 230 grain copper washed bullets that I used in my other .45.Are these or Rainiers safe in the Glock? Thanks

Your not supposed to.. But i have never had any problems.... 0 -
they are fine, they have a thick enough plating you will be ok, i personally stuck 20,000 rounds of the stuff through a model 34, and know several people who have done the same 0 -
I have shot thousands of plated bullets through all 9 of my Glocks and know several people that do. The plating on both of these brands of bullets is good and doesn't cause any leading or buildup. Now there is a difference between copper washed and copper plated. Copper wash is usually not uniform and can cause leading. Berry's and Rainer are copper plated which are more uniform and thicker. 0 -
There's been discussion for a while at Glock talk about LoneWolf Distributors. They offer a barrel that will allow the shoolting of Lead , Plated, and jacketed bullets at a price that can't be believed. However they will not cover abuse due to reloads.
