You might argue with yourself here, you're replying to a post from over 2 years ago

And yes, the Glock will be my issued gun once I am sworn in by the Sheriff's department.

Dont worry, I am not a Nazi!
That makes more sense. He probably got it from a dead American soldier and etched the swatikas on it or something.


Also, Young R is right.

Only Special Forces use .45 caliber round as of right now.

The power contained in a .40 is about the max of any caliber currently in use.

The power contained in a .40 is about the max of any caliber currently in use. Reloading it is a BAD idea. Weakend brass will not hold up to the pressures.

True the .40 SW is a high pressure round, but there is no danger in reloading them as long as your are doing it properly (i.e. using the apporiate powder, accurate number of grains, proper bullet weight, rechecking the powder dipersal every 20 rounds, etc.). My dad and I have reloaded over 2000 rounds in .40 SW and put them through my Walther P99 with NO PROBLEMS.
The issue with reloading .40SW in a Glock is the unsupported feed ramp of chamber that are in all Glock pistols. The fired case swells at the base and even after resizing the only pistol it will function in is one with a huge feed ramp and oversize chamber. After resizing you can easily see the bulged case .

Even wonder why a Glock will feed anything? That's why.

I've seen a .40SW barrel put in a 9mm Glock slide and cycle 9mm Ammo without a mechanical issue, just massive flames from the ejection port and barrel.

.40SW is just pansy 10mm Anyway
