Yes, the Glocks definately fit into the non-supported chamber category. I've seen .40 casings with a reverse image of the feedramp on them from this...usually with hot loads. I've also seen this coming out of a Beretta Cougar.

The concern is that if you size the weirded out case, and then shoot it, and size it, and shoot it again, youll eventually start to weaken the brass where it goes in and out from the shooting and sizing. If the weak spot found it's way to the feedramp side of the chamber, you could have a KB.
