sam sanfilippo Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Has anyone ever tried using lead semi-wadcutter bullets in a Glock 21 with an after-market barrel? Did you need to do anything special to make them feed reliably (for example, throat the barrel). What barrel and bullet were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmon Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 i didnt have any problems with them in my g21. SWC bullets have never been my cup of tea...so i use other bullet designs. Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDPMatt Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 They run in my G21 and my G30.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattog22 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Lone Wolf barrel in a G30. No way of getting SWC to feed. Don't waste your time and money, just use RN or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcat Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I beg to differ from the other forum members. Way back in the day before KKM, Wolf, or even Barsto made after-market barrels, the only non-factory barrel available for a G21 was from Wilson Combat. This was not a "drop-in" barrel, but is was already fully chambered. I can get my old school H&G 68 (lead SWC) loads to work. Because those bullets are bare lead w/ a grease groove, they are pretty dirty. I've since converted to use the various moly bullets. The Wilson barrel has more case support than factory, but less than other after-market barrels of today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You can use them, but I could not get them to be 100% reliable. I like shooting semi autos, not rack action pistols. Maybe I was not seating the bullets to proper length. What's so special about a SWC? The nice hole? I'll go with reliability anyday over a pretty paper punch.

judgecrater Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My G21 feeds 200 gr SWC without any problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I has issues with the extracting empty case catching on the SWC lip of the next round in the mag causing jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 20 years ago, my stock G21 shot 200 SWC's just fine - sold the gun, haven't tried it since. The 45 XD gave me the problems ranger described. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
