Earlier we had a subject worring about shooting the TRITON ammo in his Glock and wondering if the arm was gunna blow up. Aint gunna happen. We had another subject "MONTE" write in about some Glock22 problems,in part. his term of a Ka-booming glock in 22 model. He explained that it was bullet setback from the bullet being pushed back into the case,which inturn caused the glock to ka-boom. I spent a half hour on the tx this morning with GLOCK CUSTOMER SERVICE,and read them the statement by this subject , MONTE. They all had a good laugh over it but did give me the following information. It seems that a number of subjects had been shooting handloaded ammo in thier glocks. As we all know,this ammo,when handloaded might not be below SAAMI specs (read as way above). This coupled with a prior squib load(slug lodged in bbl,and then another round shot over it) did damage a couple of glocks. IT DID NOT BLOW THEM UP. As a mater of fact they advised me that they did not have any blowups from this,but it will damage the glock as it will any other firearm. As we all know a firearm manufatcurer or ammo manufacturer has no control over how a handload is produced. Now,I reload a lot,and I have not ever blown up a handgun,much less a rifle,but do know several that have due to trying to hotrod thier ammo a little. I again asked them about "very poor glock barrel chamber support " which is supposed to cause the gun to blow due to bullet setback. Again,they advised that there is nothing to it,the setback will cause a major spike in the pressure curve,and "may" damage the barrel,but again,no exploded handgun. I then talked with them about the " rail problem" that this subject advised us about. The firearms expert from glock advised that they have shot up to 6000 (thats six thousand rounds) through a glock with a missing rail with no ill effects. Thats a lotta rounds sportsfans. I then advised them of all these people going to the BARSTO/KKM barrels to replace all these glocks that are having thier barrels blow,and again,they thought it was a bunch of BS. Sounds like some hype for this company fer replacement barrels to me. There are no handguns out there that the company recommends that handloads are used in them,outside of certian specs,that will not remove the warrantee from the handgun or rifle if they are used. All in all,the company itself ,stated that all the hype this subject put into his forum is non existant. Also I am not aware of any gun magazines that have stated anything like the above problems mentioned,and I get everyone that is on the market when they come out. It is interesting when I asked them if they have had any of thier guns blow up,outside of someone using an unauthorized handload and the relpy was that they have not,and have not for anything else either ,outside of an extreme load that is not safe in any handgun. Stay safe and good shooting. I hope this information helps those that were "worried" about thier glocks . If you have any additional questions about this percieved problem please feel free to contact Glock at 770-432-1202 ...king I would say from looking at the site PINDUCK put in,reloads are domething to stay away from. I have to admit that I do not do any reloading for any of my Glocks due to having enough ammo at my disposal from being an instruter,but reloads do seem to be a problem. By the looks of a couple of those guns I would hate to see what would have occured if it was not a Glock that was being shot. Kinda hard to slam any gun if it comes apart on ya with a reload,in particulare if you did not reload them yourself,ya just dont know what was put in them in the first place. King
