I picked up two Gen 4 guns in 40S&W a few years ago and I have not had any case bulging. Now I'm looking at a new Gen3 and I'm wondering if it will bulge cases.

Any thoughts?

take the barrel out and place a new round into the chamber and turn it upside down.
This will show you the portion, if any, of the unsupported part of the case.

This is a two part answer really. No it will not leave the Glock smilie bulge like the Gen1, & 2 Glocks. Yes it will bulge evenly like the Gen4, XDm, or M&P pistols. I am a serious Gen3 fan boy. I had 1 Gen4 last year that I put 50 rnds of 9mm through, put sold it after the first range trip. I like the Gen4 frame, but dislike the recoil system.

Gen3/4 bulge.



Case on the left was from a KKM barrel.
