Glock pistols and lead Bullet?

[tombogan03884]

 I don't know about the real kool ade guzzlers like Eric and Hawkfish (who is again among the missing, any one heard from him ? ) but in MY opinion Glocks are guns bought only for shooting. If you want aesthetic appeal, fine metal crafting, that sort of thing get a Ruger, S&W, or 1911. Those are the guns you will take out and fondle and admire. If you just want a reliable blaster you can forget about until you've got something to shoot, then get a Glock.

Hey, you might not like my politics but I do have good taste in guns. I will admit to agonizing a bit, but with a resourse like you guys, you'd be a fool not to ask. As for the G27, you will love it. Toms right, its not a display gun, but I can't think of anything I'd rather carry than that or the G26 or G30. Shoot the hell out of it. And don't use lead. Use FMJ for practice, its cheap. I think the boys at Glock know what they're talking about when they say avoid lead. Why take a chance to save a couple of bucks?

I have Rugers, Smith's, 1911, but I didn't have a Glock. Now I have to wait my 10 days and I'll have one. I'm also debating if I should just go ahead and order the 9 mm conversion barrel and a couple 9 mm mags as I have plenty of 9 mm ammo, but not much .40.

If I like it I will put it on my CCW, but then I'll have to decide which one to remove from it as I can only have 3 guns on it.

    Tish Tish...  In my opinion Glock does infact have superb aesthetic appeal. And believe me I do fondle and admire my Glocks all the time. You are right about the reliable blaster part though.. they do.. do that ... and very well I might add. I shoot everything in my Glocks but heres the kicker... I clean my barrel religiously. I'd advise any Glocker to do the same. Man that koolaid tastes good!....

My son finally sent me some pics of my NIB G19 RTF OD Frame w/night sights and SF Crest. I still think he is getting a better deal with me giving him my old Smith M29-2 6.5" P&R, presentation case and Old El Paso Saddlery #2 holster.

Uh,...... yes.

Nice package, but a S&W 29? That's like "Please take my boxed and blueprinted 69 Camaro SS for a "new one"....it works, BUT..

Mauserman...yes you can shoot lead in an XD although doing so will void the warranty as will shooting other than factory ammo!

A couple of fine points.
--SA does not say using reloads WILL void the warranty.   What they say is, ..."assumes no responsibility for damage and/or injury caused in whole or in part by handloaded, reloaded, remanufactured, or defective ammunition."   Note that "defective ammunition" means factory ammo, too, so defective factory ammo is just as as bad as defective re-loads.  While all manufacturers try to encourage you to use quality ammo,  the whole statement is rather redundant.  They could have just said, they're not responsible for defective ammo.

--SA says nothing about lead ammo....one way or the other.

---There is "factory" lead ammo.

I'd rather be safe than sorry, I'll stick to factory ammo and my reloads. Thanx guys for the info.
