I am about to get a Glock 26, and I remember reading something on here a long time ago about Glocks being different. Some one help me. What was it?

9x19, load them as usual and don't even give it a 2nd though.

Ideally no lead through the factory barrel.    Wanna shoot lead, buy a replacement barrel that has std land-groove rifling.

Now go load ammo and shoot said handloaded ammo.

Different? Different for reloading?

I use reloads in 9mm and 45 in my Glocks.  I dont do anything different and dont see why you would.

I think the concern with glocks is the .40 ones....the lack of a fully supported chamber and the thinner chamber plus the high pressure of the cartridge could pose problems....all of my reloading manuals give warnings when loading .40 in unsupported chambers

This.  I reload for my 9mm Glocks.  No problems at all.

For that matter I reload for my .40 Glock also.  Not an issue, if you're careful, pay attention, use good components, and know what you're doing.

Nothing "different" about it.  Reload for them with confidence.

I load 9 & 40 Glocks with no problems at all. I don't use lead bullets but anything jacketed or plated has worked excellent. I use Win 231 powder for both with excellent results. There are others I will eventually try but I have a "bit" of 231 and it works so darn good. I just loaded some Rainier 115 JHP's w 4.4 gr. They are cutting very small ragged holes and average 1100 fps on the chrono in my G17. Very comfortable to shoot too.
Oh yeah, as far as Glocks being different, they are. Ultra reliable, fun to shoot and eat just about anything you feed 'em.
