Pete,
I've reloaded for my G19 for many years, without any issues.
I use only jacketed and plated bullets in my reloads, but have shot lead bullets through the Glock as well - never saw any lead accumulation in the bore. If anything else, the polygonal Glock rifling accumulates the crud less than the land-and-groove rifling in my BHP and STI.
There is a lot of Internet info out there, Don Speir keeps a whole site seemingly dedicated to Glock KBs.
I've been a range officer at a public range for many years, and witnessed revolvers blowing uo, and had a 1911 do a speed-disassembly in my hand due to a double-charge.
Never saw a Glock do the KB. Did see a Glock mag flying apart after hitting the concrete floor, but that's a thread for another day.
My take on the Glock KB issue is:
Glock is an exremely popular gun, they own the police market, and a huge chunk of the civilian market as well. Like all guns, Glocks can fail, and due to their popularity, a large portion of failed guns will be Glocks.
Like all Internet advise, take mine with a grain of salt.
YMMV, as they say.
