I've seen Glocks do fine with hard cast lead, and some that didn't. The only way we could tell is to try it slowly and check for serious fouling. Dead soft lead is a different animal. Properly sized, hard cast does fine. From my summation, it's usually people who don't check for fouling and send round after round downrange that get a big ole kaboom in their guns. I've only done this with my buddy's Glock's, and we put less than 200 rounds through the 10mm. You can also buy aftermarket barrels for your pistol. As I recall, that wasn't suggested in the article.
