I usually shoot a mag of FMJ to kind of clean out some of the lead, don't know if it really does anything but I do it anyway

I have understood this as a no no. Lead build up in the barrel can cause an over pressure condition for a FMJ bullet. FMJ doesn't compress and deform as easy as lead they are usually <.001 than a lead bullet. Its not good to lube a FMJ bullet with lead.

I would not.

Glocks are cheap, but not cheap enough to blow up just to save a few pennies on ammo.

You'd have to shoot a lot of lead bullets to recover the cost of one KB.
