You don't need an aftermarket barrel to handload for a Glock. It does give piece of mind and a tighter chamber to increase case life. Storm Lake barrels run $100 or so.
I use a KKM Precision ($175) in my G30 but because I also shoot 45 Super in it. I also shoot the hell out of it.
Use caution with any handloadng. Start at the starting charge and work up slowly to max. 80% of shooters handload to the lower end of the charge range. I only use two near max loads and I load for 10 metallic cartridges.
For plated data, use lead data verbatim or back off jacketed 10% and work up. Using a Lyman manual, use the 175gr or 180gr lead data and you'll be fine.
The older Glock 40 calibers had grossly unsupported chamber (no chamber is 100% fully supported). The newer Glocks have more.
