Bought a new Glock G30 Gen 4 .45ACP after years of avoiding Glocks. I am an avid reloader, and I won't keep a gun I can't reload for. After extensive research, I seemed to learn that Glock had eliminated the hated Glock "smiles and bulges" found on many of the fired cartridge cases from earlier Glocks, rendering the cases unuseable for reloading. Yes, I know that Glock states not to use reloaded cases, as do most of the other manufacturers, but Glock's deliberately designed chamber support characteristics were/are a problem for reloaders. Notwithstanding, the most recent Glocks, i.e., Gen 3s & 4s, were supposed to not destroy the brass. Unfortunately, I found that one third of the brand new Starline cases I fired had the smiles/bulges, and had to be discarded. I then learned that some of the after market barrels would eliminate the problem. After more research, I decided KKM was the best choice to solve the case problem, and, after 100 rounds through the KKM barrel, there were no smiles/bulges. The barrel was a perfect drop-in, and functions smoothly. So now I have a Glock that I can reload for, and that I enjoy shooting. Nice work, KKM!
