"Is this true...found it at Buffaloe Bore web sight?"

"Glock happens to chamber their 40 S&W pistols without a fully supported chamber and both of those above safety notices are likely aimed at Glock. I know of no other 40 S&W handguns being sold in the US that don’t have fully supported chambers. If you really want to shoot our 40S&W ammo in your Glock, have an after market barrel that uses a supported chamber, dropped into it."

No. It is not true. In any way, shape, or form. There is not a fully supported chamber in existance with regards to off-the-shelf handguns. Specialty race-guns sometimes have them because feeding is not a problem for the bullet the gun likes the best is the one always used, as well as the simple fact that such weapons are used for games and not life and death situations.

It is true that years ago Glock barrels featured LESS chamber support. This was to assure the feed of pretty much any type cartridge in existance. Then hand-loaders started cranking up their rounds, and even law enforcement got its hands on ammunition that was unsuitable for ANY gun, so Glock redesigned the barrels. Not that there was anything truly wrong with the older .40 cals, but enough was enough. Too many chairborne commando's spreading lies and innuendo.

The 22's, 23's, and 27's manufactured after 1999 or thereabouts, are as supported as any combat/defense gun on the market today. The downside to this is that they will not feed, fire, and fling with the same aplomb as the older barrels, but any modern factory ammuntion should work just fine.

As is the case with any recommendation regarding firearms, test, test, then test. One should shoot 100 rounds or so of the same bullet from the same magazines in the same gun that is to be used for self defense. The ones that work without a hitch and/or make the more accurate, dastardly holes in innocent paper are the ones to use for shit-hit-the-fan time.

Buffalo Bore is run by folks who do not like Glocks. There is simply no other way to explain such absolute bullshit, for ammunition "experts" simply cannot be that dumb.

Now drop and give me 20 for your atrocious spelling.
