It does not matter one whit how much stronger the brass may be if it is left unsupported in this manner. While perfectly safe in pistols and carbines will fully supported chambers, this is incredibly dangerous in chambers that are not fully supported.
I would assume both your Glock and your USP carbine feature fully supported chambers, so of course you would have no trouble.

So color me confused. What is the issue with unsupported cases? My old MAC10 is open bolt and the .45 case balloons as it cycles... you just don't reload those. I go to great trouble to clean up after using that weapon. That one actually the hotter the ammo, the better it runs.
I do get your issue, but its not like the market is flooded with the stuff. I usually get mine from Midway and there are only a few brands. It is also pricey running around $1.35 a round. I think the cheapest I have purchased pre covid was .89 a round.
What is so nice about the super is that it shoots so flat. It is almost a foot in height on the target between super and Walmart Winchester plinking rounds... and that is in the pistol.
