What can I do to prevent a kB!?
• Shoot only new factory ammunition out of your Glock. This is what Glock, Inc. recommends, as do several members of Glock-L. Shooting reloads voids your factory warranty. • Install a barrel with a fully supported chamber. Custom barrel makers include: Jarvis Precision Bar-Sto (barsto@eee.org) Wilson (wilsoncb@yournet.com) Briley (http://rampages.onramp.net/~briley) For related data, see annotation #3 at the end of this FAQ. • Avoid wherever possible .40 S&W ammunition manufactured by Federal Cartridge Company prior to November 1995. [See Annotation #2] At an October 1996 G.S.S.F. match, one competitor with a Model 22 had simply switched to a .40 S&W Sigma barrel which he averred not only better allowed him to shoot lead because of the conventional rifling, but that the fully supported Sigma chamber significantly decreased the opportunities for a kB!
