There are number of commercial solvents for lead fouling. Clearly, these combined with elbow grease and typical bore brushes, swags, etc, is going to do the most work though. Put the work into the lead by where the barrel meets the chamber. You can just shoot out most of the lead in the crown when you resume FMJ. It doesn't have to be mirror-perfect.
As far as the recoil....I think the 4th gen G19 snaps like .40S&W, but without the extra flash, but that is just me. The recoil seems to be more in the frame rather than in the slide. Not really much of a difference to dwell over really. But I found it odd enough that I did a double-take and shot both generations back to back a few times to make sure I wasn't crazy. |

Wrap some copper chore boy around a brush and add some solvent and scrub away. the bore will shine afterwards, It won't hurt the rifling

I'd try shooting some jacketed bullets through it first.

I got a good belly chuckle out of that one. I am a strange guy. I'll spend thousands on all kinds of shit yet I scour the webs for the best price on a $30 item. Looks like I may get the Lewis lead remover from Brownells and give it a shot

An interesting thread here... I guess I wouldn't take that chance after all on a badly leaded up barrel. |

Most appreciated. I suppose the lead fowling can be a big deal. I'm not one to take chances on things like this. I really like my Glocks, eyes, hands, etc. $30 to remove the lead is already looking like a bargain

I've shot hard cast lead bullets in my Glocks with no ill effects. You can mix a solution of 50%Vinegar 50% Peroxide place a spent brass cartridge in barrel. Fill the barrel with solution and let stand while you clean the rest of the pistol. After a few minutes dump the solution and run cold water through the barrel. If very leaded you can run the Glock nylon brush down the bore but I usually just push patches cut from an old T shirt down the bore.

I ended up using an older .40 cal copper brush and it took about 10 minutes to get the lead out. The first time I tried to remove it, the bore was not dry. With the bore dry, it came out in the form of dust. The bore looks pristine now 
I let the seller know that the guns came with a shotload of lead fouling in them and he should do a visual inpection and maybe a cleaning before sending things out like that. He never responded. I left him positive feedback because I was happy with the price and the shipping time. I don't think he has left me feedback yet

You know..... soft.... grey..... fucking lead bro  It is beyond me why the concept of some dumbass shooting lead projectiles through his G19, not being able to remove it, and selling it cheap is so hard to grasp....

First few are smokey but then it goes away and the bore is plenty clean. Everyone thinks that guns are frail and unsafe, I think there are a lot of panty wearing shooters out there.

The lead was very thick on the crown and I was able to gently strip it off with an Exacto blade. The bore was a bear to get clean and unless someone were going to use a special tool (Lewis lead remover, etc..) or oversized brush, it was not coming out. The "kind of dumbass that would keep sight unseen Glocks that "obviously" had lead shot through them by persons unknown" is the same dumbass that plans on using a threaded barrel on at least one of them. I was not going to send them back for a refund because I would have lost a large percentage of the refund shipping them back. If I couldn't have gotten the lead out of them, then I would have an excellent excuse to get threaded barrels for both of them (maybe even those snazzy Glock factory threaded barrels). At $420 each shipped, it was hard to want to send them back because I would likely pay closer to $500 shipped or more each for two more G19s. I will no longer communicate with you and will make use of the 'ignore' tab. Go troll the HK forum.... "expert"
