If you use minimal flare on a case then yes, it will still chamber in a Glock or similar with out crimp. You need to be able to either learn how to measure the flare remaining with your dial calipers or hold it up to the light and see the remaining flare. I hold the loaded round between the jaws of the dial calipers for a reference. It's easy to see that way. Lower the crimp die till it just takes the flare out.
