I think we may be approaching peak pricing (MAYBE). I have started to notice ammo accumulating which means they have finally jacked up the prices enough. Hopefully after 4 months of ammo piling up they can start undercutting each other in the normal cycle.

If ammo price (9mm) ever get back down close to where they were pre chicom plague, I'm going to buy, buy, buy ... probably 5000 rounds. Not in one purchase but in five smaller ordersI wouldn't want to wear out the UPS man.

I replace both parts with the TangoDown/Vickers version on all my Glocks, so much better IMO.Originally Posted by Greg Bell

It MIGHT be like that..but only until an import ban is announced. After that- there will be no limit.

Welp. I was blasting today and I got a premature slide lock black. I blamed it on myself and then on the next mag I got a jam. I looked at the gun and the upper pin was walking. I still blame myself since I was fiddling with a ghost trigger a few months back and didn't make sure everything went back in when I dumped it. I checked my log and sure enough, last month I had the same issue with the premature lock back. I will keep an eye on it.
I also filed down the edges of the magazine release since it was too sharp.
On the ammo subject, I haven't seen any more increases and have started to see ammo at lower prices showing up at the big box stores. Online is still dumb.

I just got my first Glock a few weeks ago, the G21. Fortunately I load, and I have a pile of components. I'm running a 230 grain hardcast. You're not supposed to use lead bullets through the polygonal rifling, but these are Brinell 18 hardness and .45 is a slow round, and after 150 rounds I noticed zero leading. I'll keep watching and see.
The G21 is a Beast. 13+1 of .45 ACP. I've had none of the issues that OP reports but I'd expect the full size G21 to be a smoother experience.

Yeah I am 99.9% confident this was my dumb ass when I swapped out that Ghost Trigger nonsense. I am no Glock fanboy but this was almost certainly me.
Edit. After not being able to get the gun to run right I just decided to trade it off. I looked back through my notes and it was always a touch finicky so I decided blah, I'll swap this for something else (Picked up a Steyr MF)

I've been considering a G41 because reasons...I think I'd enjoy it with a RDS.

The reason I haven't bought one yet is because as soon as I did they'd come out with a Gen 5.

That general "no lead through a Glock" really does not apply with the .45s. I ran 10-15-20K a year of lead handloads though a couple different Glock 21s in the 90s and very early 2000s when I was shooting USPSA. About 10 years worth and in excess of 100K though a couple guns, with over 70K through one particular one. the vast majority were 200 grain lead SWCs pushed by Clays. Never once had a single problem ever.
I would not suggest running high volumes of lead through a 10 or a .40, but you are fine through a .45.
