Most bullets use lead. However, Glock recommends only using bullets with a copper jacket (which still have a lead core). WWB or any ammunition with a copper jacketed bullet should be fine for your Glock.



I use mostly WWB, Federal, and Blazer Brass.

I've use a lot of different kinds of 9mm and have never had a problem with anything.

I've been running Ulyanovsk steel-cased 124gr NATO and brown/silver bear 115gr steel cased as my 9mm plinking ammo for a decade now.  Only ammo that ever gave me trouble was some hard-primered Olympic (greek) 115gr 9mm I tried back in 2002, and that wouldn't even fire reliably from my MAC-10.

Any reasonable factory load with a jacketed bullet should work fine.

I use both WW White Box and S&B in my nines.  I just got my older daughter a 19, and that's what she will practice with.

I prefer my own reloads by far, but for cheap, good quality factory stuff, I've always liked S&B over WWB.

Just about anything will run in it though.

I've mainly use WWB just because of availability but I have used just about everything without a single problem.

I think the list of what won't run is much easier to manage. In my G19 ... haven't found anything that wasn't outright defective to begin with. Seriously, any kind of 9mm jacketed ammo will do fine.

Plink with the cheapest jacketed ammo you can find.  I ran 500 rounds of steel cased Brown Bear in a pistol class and had no issues.  I can order it online for cheaper than Wal-Mart sells 9mm for.  

Carry one of the rounds on Dr. Robert's list of recommended duty loads. (Ranger B, Ranger T, Fed HST, Gold dot, etc).
