Wolf Ammo in Glocks

[ArmThePopulace]

Well guys, first post so here it goes: I'm going to be picking up a Glock 17 pretty soon and I was wondering if anyone had put Wolf ammo through their Glock. If so, any problems with it? Any help would be appreciated.

Glocks tend to eat whatever you feed them.

and welcome to the forum.

I have ran Tula in 40 cal through mine and it worked flawlessly. Since you are getting one in 9mm, you can usually find a box of brass cased ammo for under $10. If you are a reloaded , that wouldn't be a bad way to go.

Except for non-jacketed ammo, if you're still using the Glock factory barrel.

I can get me a 100 round box of brass Federal 9mm for my G17 for under 20 bucks.  Works great and cheaper than wolf

My Glock eats whatever I feed it. The only thing to watch out for is the very rare bad primer.

I was going to mention the 100 round value pack from winchester.

New guy, Welcome to the forum. & if all you can afford is steel case stuff, go for it. especially to shoot. If your looking to store it, try not to get the steel case. Just the slightest amount of moisture will rust that shit up quick.

Like said prior, you shouldn't have an issue with launching some slugs though.

Welcome to the forum. They will function well in your Glock.

I've never fired the stuff... that's good to know though. what's the problem with it anyway? (I do use the factory barrel, I never felt a need to change it)

Disassemble your Glock and look through the factory barrel.  Then do the same with any other handgun.  Take notice that the grooves are significantly deeper in the Glock barrel.  This causes them to grab and hold the soft lead.  Malfunctions will occur after only one or two mags of non-jacketed ammo, and then the barrel will require an intensive cleaning.

BTW:  Anyone who reloads and plans to cast their own bullets after the apocalypse needs to take note of this and invest in an after market barrel for your Glock(s).

EDIT:  Even if you don't reload, you can bet SOMEONE will be reloading with cast lead and it will eventually become the only ammo left for barter.

hmm... I'll take your word for it but it doesn't seem to make much sense. it seems like almost the opposite would be true.

Ask around...If you find any one who has ever shot non-jacketed ammo through a Glock barrel, they will be quick to let you know that they spent much more time cleaning the barrel than shooting through it.

[mountainredneck2051]

imo you should have a second barrel extra guide rods, ect...  stocked anyways
so why not get a barrel that shoots lead too

[goodnightChesty1775]

regardless of what you hear about ammo, pick up a box or two and shoot it anyway, lots of smoke gets blown on the net about ammo and cycling.

I pretty much use nothing but russian steel cased in my glocks.

It's cheaper, so you can practice more.

yes in that case all you must do is run a nice wire ore brush through the barrel ever 1-200 rounds... no biggy.

idk how many of you guys shoot a lot of non jacketed bullets,
but that leading is nothing to shrug off,  if you shoot alot of it like i do your gonna really hate it when you try to get it out
now i never try to shoot a glock with lead bullets, but if the company itself says that you really don't want to try it then to hell with that shit


trust me, back in my cowboy action days i learned how to swear when cleaning that shit out
