It's OK in all Glock pistols.  Other brands must check with their
manufacturer.  This particular ammo was marked in Spanish or Portugese
"sub-fusil," of some such, & it was marketed as sub-gun ammo.  I was using
it in UZI's & Texas MAC's . . . & it was pretty stout.

Yea, I really didn't have a frame problem.  The top disassembly cover kept
blowing off & every once in a while let the firing pin fly out.  May have
just  been a loose cover.
