Brownell's Glock Barrel on a Glock 21
My 21.4 was having issues feeding 200 grain SWC handloads. The case mouth was snagging either side of the chamber mouth on the OEM Glock barrel. There is an inverted "U" shaped notch on either side of the OEM Glock barrel. The Brownell's barrel doesn't have these notches in the chamber mouth so the SWC's feed much more reliably. With the conventional rifling in the Brownell's barrel, no concerns about leading related problems in it. All in all, a worthy modification/upgrade to my 21 IMHO.
