I went to a gun show today and found me a G30. I was looking around at 45cal ammo and was amazed at all the different loads. Prices were a little high so I didn't buy any. So now what is a good load for target practice? and what is a price I should expect? And the ammo guy told me not to use lead, is that true?? Tues is going to be range day (closed on Mon).

Glocks don't like lead. After market barrel would help relieve this.230 grain round nose from walmart about $25 for 50 rounds. Great gun and welcome.

+1 on 230gr WWB from Wally World. Fortunately, Glocks will feed just about anything with no problems. Welcome to the wonderful world of Glocks.

I don't know about the lead issue, other than the fact they tend to cause a buildup in the barrel. Before the prices went up last year I stocked up on the CCI Blazer Brass from Wally World & haven't had a problem w/ it. I never had a problem w/ jams, my Glock took just about anything, but my S&W HATED anything other than brass. But, I got it from my paramedic instructor, and he shot competition w/ it & had a buttload of work done to it, so it is a finiky beast. Love it, but it's just not a ccw piece d/t that fact. Don't trust my family's, or my life to a precision piece as that.
