I have a friend who went to Glock Armorers school. They never mentioned it to the people they were training. Must not have been an issue...

I must respectfully disagree with two points made here...the first being that polygonal rifling does not lend itself well to cast lead bullets, and second that flat or bevel based bullets will not deform enough to seal the bore. I would stipulate that if you're not sealing the bore, no bullet (lead or jacketed) will perform particularly well in any barrel, polygonal or otherwise.
I use bevel-base bullets exclusively and those that I've recovered show the base is flattened and fully engaged with the barrel rifling. The 20Kpsi (or CUP) you state is approximately correct for BHN 15-18 lead hardness and is far from excessive in any handgun caliber I'm aware of....45ACP being probably the most limiting that I reload for.
