Lead bullets with antimony are the staple of the 1911. It's the polygonal rifling that needs to be cleaned judiciously, that 'can' cause problems in barrels utilizing that specific rifling.
You can shoot lead out of an HK and a Glock, you just have to be mindful of lead build-up and clean more frequently.
I've never gotten into shooting lead and I don't cast, but I've recently mulled over changing my mind in weapons like my Kimber Custom Eclipse II and my Norinco 1911. It can save on some cash, even buying 'factory lead' bullets.
