i understand there is the whole debate about whether or not the lack of a fully supported chamber has caused any of the .40s&w or .45 GAP glock KBs (it has not, imho) but i've never even heard of any case of a 9mm glock KBing...regardless of the cause. (doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but, if it has, it is exceeeeeeeeeeeeedingly rare.)

yes they can.
The 9mm Glock barrels leave only a tiny sliver of brass unsupported. It's nothing like the .40SW or .45ACP barrels.

Glocks nines were made to run 9mm NATO ammo, a 124gr. bullet at 1100fps, and a handful of GlockTalkers have shot cases of Hirtenberger ammo, which is even hotter and gets marked SMG-Only.
