After market Glock barrels

[Anotherpyr]

Any opinions on manufacturers to choose or avoid? Thinking of getting a threaded barrel and the Storm Lake barrels are much more than the Lone Wolf.

Which model Glock do you have? Glock makes factory threaded barrels for the G17, G19, and G21. My opinion, stay with a factory threaded barrel when you have the option to do so. I have one for my G19 and its been great since day one. I also had one for my G17 before I sold it.

Also, between Storm Lake and LoneWolf. I'd choose Storm Lake every time. Not a fan of LoneWolf personally. But that's just my opinion.

I have a threaded Jarvis barrel for my G17. Dropped right in and no issues.

The Jarvis barrel is better than the factory Glock Your group size will shrink with the Jarvis barrel.

I have debated getting one just so I can shoot lead. I knkw some say you can others say you can't I havent tried yet but I'd like tl be able to run lead from my 17.

While I am not a big fan of aftermarket parts, I had a G23 with a Jarvis and G19 with a Bar-Sto. Both worked flawlessly although I probably would not personally buy a Jarvis again after more than a few stories regarding their customer service and seeing how customers were not treated very well.

I would go with the Storm Lake. I have one for my Glock 35 and it is a great barrel.

Also have a KKM for the Glock 23, it's also a very nice barrel.

I shot a TON of lead through my Glock 17 barrel and never had an issue with it. But, I kept it clean and the loads were all moderate pressure.

I have a KKM and a Storm Lake barrels for my 10mm Glocks.

Both work flawlessly.

Have a lone wolf barrel on a 17 that shoots well enough to hit a running ground hog at the 50 ft more/less distance. Installation was easy enough.This was a few years ago,maybe wolf quality has gone down of late.?

 

[swinokur]

I have noticed some on line complaints about LW barrels, but not enough from what I see to say LW quality has gone down. I'm not paying extra money to remove the stupid cartoon from the barrel hood.

But I don't like Punisher end plates either.

My LW TB works well in my 17 G4 with 45Osprey.

LW barrels in a 34 and 19. Great accuracy and dropped right in. They are good to go.

 

[covertpanda]

If you are going drop-in all the barrels listed would be fine; KKM if you are getting it fitted, one panda's opinion.

Factory Glock can NOT be beat from a reliability standpoint.

Storm Lake Nitrided Barrels are my next choice.

KKM an Jarvis are nice but you will not get factory reliability with a broad range of ammo with them. They are geared towards accuracy as their primary purpose.

Lone Wolf is awful IMO.

Can you elaborate a little on your opinion of LW barrels? I always thought the LW barrels were pretty decent - accuracy and function wise

I've used LW barrels for multi-caliber conversions on the g20/21 and a g35 with no problems at all

Just wanted to know why you thought these barrels were "aweful"?

Thanks

I have a KKM .40 S&W conversion barrel that I run in a Glock 20. It drops in with no mods and use the stock 10mm mags. I’ve run more than several thousand rounds through it without any problems. I shot it for several years in IDPA. I’d highly recommend a KKM barrel.

Soft Steel, Bad Tolerances, and Rough Machining.

The 40-9 conversion barrels which are an awful idea, but others besides LW do them.
