Check out glocktalk.com if you want info on reloading for the glock especially the 40 S&W. It has what many call a unsupported chamber which allows the case to bulge more so than other brands. This design allows it to feed flawlessly.
It can and has been reloaded safely using the factory barrel, but most opt to buy a after market barrel that fully supports the case when they plan on reloading for it.
I do pin shoots and know of at least three guys that shoot hundreds of reloaded rounds through factory glock barrels in 40 S&W with no problem or ill effect.
In the case of the infamous "Kaboom" which is correlated to poor quality control with reloaded rounds, its design allows the magazine to blow out the bottom and sometimes the slide release lever will blow out causing a blood blister at most. The Kaboom is not just known to glocks but to all makes and calibers of firearms.
With that said I love my glocks and have found them to be utterly reliable and plenty accurate for my use. Esox357.
