Berry's plated bullets in Glocks
I know Glock warns against firing lead bullets in their pistols; I believe it has to do with the type of rifling found in Glock barrels. Is it OK to fire plated lead bullets (like Berry's) in Glocks. I'm just about out of my Winchester FMJs in 9mm and 45 but I have some Berry's plated. Thanks.

Berry's in Glocks?
I had a Glock 21 and a 23 that shot Berry's without issues for over five years.
That said remember to reduce your FMJ loads.

Been shooting plated bullets in my 2 9mm Glocks for about 15 years now - no issues, clean up easily

I don't own a Glock, but I do shoot Berry's Bullets in my 9mm Kahr P9 and 40S&W Baby Eagle; both of which have a polygonal barrel. I've not seen lead build up from plated bullets.
Some folks replace the polygonal barrel in their Glock with a grooved or rifled barrel, allowing them to shoot lead.

I've been using them in my Glocks in 45 and 9mm. I just load them with the jacketed bullet loads. I love 'em!.

Bare lead can be used in the factory 45 barrel without issues. I speak from experience, and others will tell you the same thing.
