Does the name Dean Spier ring a bell here?

He's the guy who did all the original research and wrote a number of informative articles on the subject. He caught a lot of flack for it to (much of it right on this forum), even though he liked Glocks overall. IIRC, it wasn't just limited to the .40, there were examples in other calibers as well.

Why doesn't Glock redesign the barrel? Because that would be an admission of a design flaw (or two if you count the lead slug issue), and they might be forced to recall hundreds of thousands of pistols.

So, don't shoot reloads and don't shoot even factory rolled lead slugs.
