You can run lead in a glock. Just CLEAN YOUR GUN!!!! I like running a few FMJs at the bottom of each mag to help clean it out too. But you need a solvent to keep it clean. Do it after each outing.
I think this is bad advice. If you have jacketed and lead for the same range trip, run the jacketed through it first. The rifling of the Glock strips lead off of your cast bullets pretty much no matter what you do. A lead build up, and then running jacketed through it is where people get into trouble. The jacketed round will iron the lead into it and reduce the size of the bore. It could raise pressures rather easily when you shoot a jacketed behind the lead. Not a good idea to try with a high pressure round like the 10mm. Clean it out? C"Mon man, clean the gun when you get home, very thoroughly and use your head when shooting a high pressure round in a pistol known to be susceptible to KB's.

Take a look in the reloading book at the operating pressures of the 10mm. A little common sense is in order when stepping outside the recommendations of factory literature.
