Would like to hear opinions and experience about using 40 cal reloaded or remanufactured ammo in a Glock. Brother-in-law went to a shop to buy reloading equipment for 9mm and 40 cal. At the counter mentioned he planned to reload primarily 40 cal for his Glock. The shop owner told him not a good idea to shoot reloads because 1)Glock barrel leaves too much brass unsupported, 2)40 cal brass wall thickness near the base is too thin - prone to bulging, and 3)40 cal dies do not resize full length of the brass.
Stories and pictures of Glocks going KaBoom are easy to find on the web. Very little factual information about root causes.
Anybody have fact based knowledge to share?
Other Brands also leave some brass unsupported so this is not meant to be a Glock good or bad debate.
