I was talking with a dealer (big Glock man) the other day when the subject of handload feeding problems in a G34 came up. Big time stovepipe jams. (rounds seemed fine to me, and feed/functioned fine in everything but this 34)
He told me to never shoot handloads in a Glock because the chamber is unsupported at 6 o'clock, and will blow the bottom of the gun into your hand if the loads get to hot (ouch!)
This seems strange to me because all I ever hear is how tough these guns are, etc. He said it happened to a guy while he was shooting with, so he must know what he's talking about.
Is this common? Loading my own rounds is the other half of the fun when it comes to shooting IMO, so having a gun that is not reloaded ammo friendly is of no use to me. Any thoughts on the KB issue, and the feeding problem would be most appreciated.
Best regards,
SM
