I have shot lead cast out of my glocks with no problem. You need to clean it more often and you need to keep the velocity down under 1200fps with most cast bullets . This will only be an issue with .357 Sig,10mm,hot 40S&W and nuclear 9mm. The 45acp is a non issue. IMHO Glock is just covering it's a$$ and rightfully so ,because there are too many idiots and lawyers looking to ruin it for the rest of us . As far as hot 10mm ,you can not be too carefull . If you are going to hand load ,get good aftermarket barrel with enough support. Bulged brass/glock smiles will be trouble sooner or later.
