Big Yak,

That warning was put in because of the overly large, sloppy chamber of trhe Glock .40 cals.

If you're reloading for a Glock .40, 10MM or .45, a good aftermarket barrel is a good idea.

For some reason, Glock cuts 9MM chambers to SAAMI spec, but the straight wall cases like .40, 10MM and .45 are cut large and sloppy.

Glock says that this increases reliability, but the BarSto and Federal barrels that I have in my Glockls are just as reliable as the Glock barrels
