Any love for Glock Longslides?

[Danimal]

I went into one of my local shops that I don't go into too often, but they usually have decent prices on powder and I just happened to need some.  Saw a complete 24 upper including the barrel listed for $275.  I asked to look at it and it got the wheels rolling.  I asked the owner of the store if he was willing to part with the upper without the barrel for less than the $275.  He said he was willing to drop the price to $200 for the whole upper including the barrel.  I already have a Gen 2 3 pin G22.  Now I just need to decide if I am going to go with a Lonewolf 6" .357 sig barrel, or an aftermarket 6" .40 as I reload my own.  I figure I'll probably just end up getting both in the long run anyways.  Regardless, I think I have a nice little range toy now.

Danimal, great looking LS set up, either way 357Sig or 40S&W would be nice...the 357Sig would be more like a 357mag!
Just remember that these cartridges have a short neck and set back can be an issue if neck tension is improper.  If you don't have the dies for the 357Sig already I would suggest the Dillon dies for sizing especially because of the carbide sections for both case dia and neck dia.
Best regards!

I use Lee Dies, and have had pretty decent luck with my .357 sig reloading set up.

All of my Lee dies work fine, but they all feel rough and gritty next to RCBS or Dillon dies.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the Lee dies, but I can tell where the extra money goes on other die sets.

All I've ever used is Lee dies....guess I just don't know any better.  I taught myself a few years ago by trial and error, Youtube, and a Lyman manual.

I started out using the LEE 357Sig die set.  Before I ran the cases in the LEE 357Sig sizer, I would pass thru size first, but even with case lube the started maring the cases with lines almost like scratches.    That reminds me I still need to try and clean tha die out.

I wouldn't know better but the local store was out of Lee 10mm when I started loading, so I got RCBS instead.  Later I got some Lee 10mm dies on clearance for $10.  And picked up a few other calibers.

They all work fine.  But they do scratch the cases more and feel a little rougher.  Nothing some jewelers rouge  and a dremel tool couldn't fix I bet.  Probably smooth up after a couple 10,000 rounds too.

I have my .357 sig set up as a 5 step reload.

I first run my cases through a .40 de-caping die.  Then I use the .357 de-caper/sizing die with the de-caping pin removed.  This eliminates the need for case lube, and sizes the case.  Yes it's an extra step, but it takes all of 10 minutes.

Then the rest of the steps as normal.

Yes!!!!!

I love that 20L. I have had one on order from Lonewolf for at least three or four months. Getting a bit annoyed they keep delaying their delivery date.

I have yet to find a single model of a Glock that fit in my small hands. My 10 mm pistols are both 1911's which I am much more comfortable holding. And one of them is a 6" long slide.
