Advice Needed On Glock 30 .45 ACP

Should I take my Glock 30 .45 ACP to a gunsmith? Or, just be thankful something bad didn't happen.

I accidently fired a box of .45 GAP ammo through it.

I thought I was dealing with a magazine seating issue. I didn't catch the error until it was all over and I was picking up my brass. I apparently mislabeled the GAP reloads as ACP. Sidenote: I don't have a GAP anymore and had pulled the components when I traded the GAP off.

The 30 handled it fairly well. Loading the first round in the magazine was the major issue and an occasion fail-to-feed afterwards. I didn't experience any ejection problems. To make matters worse, before I caught on to my error, I opened a box of .45 ACP ammo to further test the 30. When it fired the first magazine flawlessly, I loaded several more times for some rapid fire drills. It worked flawlessly.

I took it apart after I discovered my mistake. Nothing appeared out of ordinary.

Thanks for you advice.
 
Don't worry, you didn't hurt a thing. All I'd do is to be sure I cleaned the chamber well to remove any carbon buildup at the front that could interfere with chambering the longer 45acp rounds. Once it's clean you're GTG and no harm done.
 
Follow-up

Thanks for your replies. I feel a whole lot better.

I linked up with a Glock Armorer yesterday, and he took it apart for a closer examination and found nothing wrong. His advice was not to do that anymore.

I'm going out later today to put some ACP through it!
