Re: glock barrel fouling why?
factory barrel winchester white box 115 gr fmj the end 1/3 is the part that is getting fouled up and i have a tougher time cleaning that barrel after 100 rounds than i do any other pistol after 500+ rounds

Re: glock barrel fouling why?
Might want to contact Glock customer service to see if they want you to send the barrel to be tested. Sounds like it might have a hardness or size issue.

Re: glock barrel fouling why?
Why do you need to clean it after only 100 rounds? Is it adversly affecting accuracy?
I usually clean mine after about 1k or 2K rounds.

Agreed, sounds like leading....I use the same ammo W/W box out of my 23 and 19 .... granted I am anal and clean them after every shooting session. I just use some standard solvent and some CLP with no problems. Not sure what else to tell you.

Re: glock barrel fouling why?
never had that problem and put thousands of rounds of WWB through my glock 9mm's before I started to reload.
I agree you should not need to clean the barrel until at least 2000 rounds through it. I usually clean @ 3k, but probably not needed.

Re: glock barrel fouling why?
if you're having to clean the glock, you're doing it wrong. I used to sell the things and was told by glock not to clean them. They were really looking for destructive feedback.
I can't say we never cleaned them even though we shot lead through it...never an issue. We did clean from time to time by taking a knife and carving out the unburned powder crap from around the barrel hood and extractor. I think about every few thousand it got the barrel scrubbed.
if you're worried about fouling, change ammo. I really wouldn't be too concerned.
