Glock says you should never shoot lead bullets in their barrels and many folks follow that and don't do it. Of course, most firearm manufacturer's also tell you not to shoot any reloads in their firearms, but we all do it anyway.

With Glock, it's supposedly the polygonal rifling that doesn't work well with lead bullets, but what has YOUR experience been?

I'm anticipating the arrival of a new Glock 29 (that's the subcompact 10mm for you non-Glock types) While an aftermarket barrel is certainly an option I've considered, I'd still like to hear what you folks think about hard cast lead bullets in a stock Glock barrel.
