9mm Lugar OAL question

Hey guys, I got a fast question. Currently I am reloading and using 124gr FMJ Zero Bullets. Being that I am using a glock I have found that for the slide to stop locking forward after firing I had to change my OAL to 1.085 - 1.090 and this work. This has worked the best when I am using mixed brass. Now looking at the specs from spear and loaddata.com 9mm lugar specs show 1.095 min and 1.169 is max OAL.

Today I went to the local gun show and ending up buying 125gr FMJ Zero Bullets and I noticed that these are flat nose and much smaller in size. Loading one now with the way my dies are set up this puts me at 1.055 - 1.059. This is so far under the minimum spec that I am sure this would lead to some problems.

Question 1: What is the lowest acceptable oal that you can go to without running in to problems?

TIA
