Curious if it functions in a Glock 20/29 — didn’t in mine.

I didn't expect it to expand in Clear Ballistics gel. Think Andrew who posts on arfcom and YouTube, used to post here some, compared results between it and ordnance gel using this exact load.

Tougher soft points and hollow points just don't get enough resistance with the synthetic stuff unless they are at a blazing speed.

It runs in my G40 like a champ.

I remember you saying that in the past. In that it is a problem in multiple 20/29 pistols, I can only assume that the larger size of the G40 is the difference.

I don’t have any other 10mm pistols to try. The slide on the G40 is noticeably heavier than my G21’s. Not sure how that affects it. I’m also using a 22lb NDZ RSA but the gun worked with that ammo before I installed that.

For reference the neutered factory 180 FMJ ammo often seems to have a difficult time cycling the slide.

I do think you should test one of these! Lol! Takes 10mm Glock mags.

If I ever convince myself "it'll be different this time" and try a 4th Glock 10mm pistol, it will be a Glock 40.
