This one was retired after 348,210 rounds. I would feel safe shooting any 9mm out of a Glock. http://www.cybershooters.org/IWA2000/Glock17.JPG Hirtenberger used a Glock 17 to test fire hot 9mm loads.

The only pistol made to shoot US NATO ammo is the Beretta 92F and M-92FS models. Glocks arnt supposed to use 9mm NATO ammo either.

Massad Ayoob talks about seeing baskets full of broken HPs as a result of firing 9 mm NATO ammo in one of his books.

Kinda makes me glad I bought it instead of other well known 9mm's. From page 13 of the owner’s manual for my Ruger SR9:

It may be something you can get away with in the FM (Argentine) models, but ISTR reading that you'll eventually batter the frame running that stuff through one of the FN/Browning guns.
