Love the Springfield. Keep the rails and receiver and the chamber lubed, though, esp with cheaper ammo.

SWCs sometimes don't feed well — But usually do just fine for target use.

I would think you would want good defense commercial ammo for serious work.

It's just me, but I use FMJ commercial ammo for target work. That way it limits the possibility of suib loads, especially if you pratice the double tap, or rapid fire.

I bought some 185s for my 1911A1 remington rand, and didn’tt like the accuracy. I prefer 230 fmj and hollow points in jacketed and 200gr hard cast lead from a lee mold for my cheap lead loads for plinking and wild bunch shoots.

but hey a glock aint a 1911...good luck with em

Technically speaking you are not supposed to fire lead bullets in a Glock with polygonal rifling. They’d be just fine in your 1911 though, it has standard lands and grooves.

I agree with P8riot in post 5. I wouldn’t use lead bullets in a Glock.
