It is my understanding that the shallow rifling in a Glock barrel lends itself to an accelerated buildup of lead deposits. It makes sense to me that the deeper rifling in a traditional barrel would take longer to foul up with lead and would provide more avenues for the gases to escape. Because of the tighter case/bore fit in a barrel with polygonal rifling, less lead has to be deposited before pressures become unsafe. However, I am by no means an expert -- this was just the way I interpreted earlier posts on this subject.
