get the lead out

I have a glock 17 that I started shooting lead bullets in. I know that they say glocks are not made to shoot lead. I have friends that have shot thousands of rounds of lead with there glocks with no problem,as long as you keep the lead out. what do you guys use to get the lead out? right now I'm using shooters choice lead removal.it works good however,I would like to see if I can get something better. Thanks

Chore Boy copper mesh scrubbing pads. Cut strips of the mesh, wrap it around a bore brush and scrub the bore. Best when the bore is dry because any oil or solvent will act as a lubricant. The copper mesh is much softer than steel, yet harder than lead, so it will strip out the lead and not harm the bore.

With factory Glock barrels, I really do advise that you abide by the Glock warning and not shoot lead bullets. All it takes is one kaboom to really ruin your weekend.
