.Considering they are all proofed, they do fine with ammo quite a bit hotter than SAAMI
Oh, well please enlighten all as to actual (Official) Glock Proof specs for 9mm, .45acp, .40 S&W, & .357Sig.
Thanks in advance

OK let's look at the major defensive handgun calibers sold in the US. We have .38 special, 9mm Luger/Parabellum, .357 Magnum, .357 SIG, .40S&W, and .45 ACP. Half of those - .38 Special, 9mm Luger/Parabellum, and .45 ACP - have SAAMI standards for +P loadings.Soybomb,
My quote above says "vary" and "generally taken"
You have quoted one specific calibre for one manufacturer for one type. So my stance (statistically) is better than yours. Then again stats and lies.....
OK, now let's take a round that doesn't have a SAAMI +P standard, but does have loads advertised as +P; that being the .45 Colt. If you think Corbon and others are full of BS with 45 Colt +P nomenclature by all means go shoot a few boxes through a SAA, or an Italian or Brazilian SAA clone and let me know if you still have a gun left to shoot them through.As I said, this is pure sales BS and is Buyer Beware
I would suggest the winchester Super X 148 gr. lead wadcutter, X38SMRP. They're very shootable and should make as good of a wound as you're likely to be able to get with 2" barrel and standard pressure. If you carry a reload though you might look into something else to carry as your reload rounds.FWIW I own a S&W 642. It was not marked for +P ammunition. It was mfg. in 1991. I called S&W. They stated that it was not approved for +p. I do not shoot +P in it. I am having problems finding non +P SD ammo. for it.
i am not a big glock fan they are awesome weapons but they just don't do anything for me, bu t as long as you don't or bubba don't double or overcharge a rd while reloading there should be no problems.Yeah, except Glock with those unsupported chambers!
