is the 40 S&W safe or not

OK, good "gotcha"

9 to 40

Need new slide, barrel, and magazines.

Oh yeah, and ammo.

Pampers,

That is some of the most technically sensible info I've read in a while. I have a Glock 23 and love it. It is without a doubt the best handgun I own. I don't reload yet, but appreciate info like this for my future reference.

Thanks.

Some info on the .40 S&W bullet setback and 180 grain loads can be had at the following address:

http://greent.com/40Page/ammo/40/180gr.htm

I am still using 180's, but I check them carefully for setback from loading and unloading the same carry ammo. I may switch to a lighter bullet, but I haven't had any problems with the 180's so far.

I like the way the .40 performs. It is more than a 9x19, but the guns are more compact than the .45's. I also like the .45ACP round a lot. I may get a handgun in .45ACP, as I currently don't have one.

Good Shooting - Be Safe

never had a problem with Kb in my glock22.

I usually shoot PMC and Winchester

As I recall, yes. I've been looking for the article, but haven't been able to find it. I seem to remember that KBs with factory ammo did occur, but was MUCH more common with reloads.

Here is a link to an article about Federal factory rounds kb'ing.

Does anyone have any information on USP's of any caliber kb'ing?

Just shoot quality ammo, good reloads, no lead but in aftermarket barrels, and no gun show ammo.

Get some 22# recoil springs by Wolff and an FA SS barrel and don't look back!!!!
