Best replacement/upgrade barrel
Glock 17 needed a upgrade . Purchased this threaded barrel from past experience. Instant gratification. Groups were cut 70 %.
I only shoot handloads. Cast bullets that I powder coat. From 115 -147 gr.
No Jams on rapid fire
Better than the factory barrel. Zero malfunctions, fits American made suppressors perfectly. Using 180 gr .40 ammo is more quiet than 230 gr .45 , just as quiet as 147gr 9mm . The best thing about 180 gr 40 ammo is that it is only slightly more costly than subsonic 9mm but actually available to buy while 9mm subsonic is very hard to find. The 40 is way cheaper than 45, which now costs more than 10mm or 357!
Perfect Fit , Function
Waited months to get threads for my G22. The barrel fits like original. Had 100% smooth cycling. Unlike the factory glock barrels using counterclockwise threads, this has the US standard threads for 10mm/ .40 cal that tightens clockwise . Fits all US made suppressors tight. Great product!
Customized mine a bit
When it comes in it's perfect for any G19 it is built well and will work with any drop-in. I customized the feed ramp; polished and honed the ramp more for what I am using it for.
Great barrel
This barrel is perfect for what I needed. I paired it with a Zev Technology muzzle break and it shoots like a .22 cal.
Fits Better than Factory Barrel
I found this barrel install went smoothly. There was no fitting needed. I lubed the slide first and found the fit tighter than the factory barrel. I then coated this barrel with Wilson Ultma-Lube and the barrel slid right in place. All cycling checks were smooth as silk. This barrel change is for a dedicated sincerer and taller sights on order. I highly recommend this barrel to any one wishing to tame their pistol. .
3 guns in one
Sixth LW Glock replacement barrel I have purchased and first review. Fit on 30+ year old Gen 2 M22 is as close to perfect as it gets. I shoot Powder Coat Lee 356-125-2r sized @.358 and Accurate Mold 125D no lube groove also at .358. Barrel Slugged at .3565. Accuracy at first was disappointing, but after 5-600 rounds the barrel was capable of sub 1 1/2 inch groups at 11 yds and 2 inch inch groups at 25 yds. Consistently hit 9 in pie plates at 100 yards. Also handled 125 GDHP (for 357Sig) and S.147gr TMJ's well with PP and A#9 @1250-1300fps. Not a "deal" as advertised but exceptionally pleased with purchase. Well worth it...
Great barrel!
I've got well over 3,000+ rounds through this barrel with only one issue and that was I couldn't do 15+1 using magpul pmags. No issues on stock mags though. The coating and accuracy are excellent. Definitely a step up over the factory barrel. It is a match grade barrel so there are tighter tolerances so remember to use quality ammunition.
Great addition to my G19
I wanted to wait until I had used it a bit to review. I have close to 1000 rounds through this barrel now and not a single FTL, FTF, or FFE. It has worked flawlessly. The thread protector does seem to come loose about 1/2 turn every time I take it to the range, but no more than that no matter how many rounds I fire. Now just waiting for the HPA to pass.
Flawless
Wanted a threaded barrel for future use and at this price point for a USA made barrel, it is a great item. I purchased it and didn't get to use it until I took my enhanced CCW class today and out 100 rounds though it in a very short time. I had 0 feeding or ejecting issues but I did have 1 round not fire. Though this was not due to the barrel though. The thread protector does like to twist off a little after 30 or so rounds (maybe 1/10 of a turn) but nothing out of the ordinary.
