Glock Pistols have an "UN-SUPPORTED" chamber and are not intended to fire RELOADS. If you want to shoot reloaded ammo in your glock, then have a aftermarket barrel fitted for it. Be thankful that it jammed and you could not chamber another round, you were very fortunate.
More info. on this "BULGED BARREL" with the Glock can be found on:
castboolits.com .

{The reason I know this! Last week I started to research information on reloading for the Glock 40 S&W [duty issue] for my 'Almost half addopted Step-child' who now works part time for the local Court system as a bailif, deputy, probation/community service armed escort [aka chain gang guard].
On his pay and WITH a young family he finds it 'tight' to shoot enough to keep in good practice. He had asked me to reload for his 40S&W. Since I had never fired a 'Glock' or the 40S&W, I went looking and the above is what I found!
He will now practice with one of my 1911's or my S&W 9mm.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not in any way harping on the 'Glock' firearm, from what I know of them? They are one of the finest semi-auto pistols in use today! However as with any firearm, if you are going to use reloaded ammo. first do your homework and keep it safe.
