Robert K. Campbell was a law enforcement officer for over twenty years where he was a trainer, weapons tester, and a street cop. Mr. Campbell is one of the most prolific writers today on the topic of fighting weapons. He is also a very big contributing writer for the well-known website Gunblast.com. This article was published by Sonoran Desert Institute. The purpose of this article is to give the reader (us) a better understanding of what type of bullets you can and can't use in a Glock, and why. The reasons why using coated lead bullets are a reliable and consistent form of bullet for the Glock is the topic of this article. In this article, they talk about how lead bullets are bad for the Glock due to the rifling in the barrels having deep

With polygonal rifling, there is a tighter gas seal and the bullet grips the barrel more tightly. Less bullet deformation, higher average velocity, and a bore that is easier to clean are among some of the advantages. Some of these issues included "leading the barrel" and exploding barrels due to the extremely high pressures. Soon after the findings of this issue they introduced coated casted bullets that were far less expensive than the jacketed Bullet. By switching to these bullets, the results were significantly improved reducing barrel leading, almost altogether eliminating barrel/lube smoke, and creating a very reliable bullet. It was great to read about what they had to go through when the new self-loading pistols came out and how they fixed the problem. I learned that every bullet should be tested before making it readily available to the public to eliminate potential harm to a shooter and in the same aspect I would recommend this to other students if they plan on bullet
