Only Glock I have is a 30S. If you start pumping out .45ACP barrels I'm game, I'll compare to the factory with factory ammo and my reloads.

Lists are updated to this point.
Barrels will be with the first testers by Saturday if tracking stays true. (Delayed due to thanksgiving or else they would be there Friday.) |

Do these have excessively tight chambers like Lone Wolf, or loose chambers like Glock factory barrels?

That's one of the things we disliked about other barrels out there. They require far too much break in or a few hundred rounds to actually start feeding perfectly. We went with a chamber slightly tighter than Glocks factory, and looser than the other aftermarket out there. Our barrels don't really require much if any break in and are good to go feeding anything you can imagine straight out the gates, including flat point and hollow point rounds. I put together a horrible video on my iPotato of my putting some HST in a barrel, if you want I can put it up here. |

I'm in WA and would love to try out a 19 barrel. Where abouts? Everett area (bothell) but I wouldn't mind driving. Let me see what I can do. We've got quite a few floating around right now, I'll see if I can get my hands on another for the locals to try. |

If you guys build a 26 barrel put me down! Not sure why all the companies are building 43 barrels but none for the 26. Based on all the Facebook responses to blacklist ind, S3F, etc, the demand for the 26 barrel is there

List has been updated.
ZZZ, working on it! Sublime, same applies. Working on it. We've just had so very few requests. But I will see what I can do for you! |

Hey Guys,
Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and got some good family time in. We've had a lot of interest in our barrels because of this thread and quite a few requests to throw a discount your way for Black Friday and Cyber Monday that extended beyond the 20% off Cerakote deal we have going. Well we've heard you and here it is! Coupon code: BFBarrel to save an extra 10% off our Glock barrels. http://www.olympiccerakote.com/ (This applies to Glock barrels only. DUE TO DEMAND PLEASE ALLOW AN EXTRA 3-5 DAYS FOR SHIPPING. This coupon code does not stack with any others.) |

The litmus test is really how well they run on reloads. As I understand it, the problem with Lonewolf barrels is that the tightness of their chambers conflicts with ammo that isn't run through a factory crimp die. Some reloaders use factory crimp dies in their presses, but not all. About one in 100 reloads seizes up in my Lonewolf barrels and requires a flat head screwdriver to get the slide open. The same reloads run flawlessly in my factory Glock barrels and my CZ barrels, all well-known to be cut loose to improve reliability. Were these tested with reloads?

I shoot 90% reloads and have not had a single problem. As a matter of fact, when I get home I'll see if I can record myself running some loads into the chamber or in a gun. |

I didn't read thru the whole thread so forgive me if this has been asked already. The Gen 3 is known to be slightly less accurate than the Gen 4. Are you guys seeing a noticeable difference in accuracy in the Gen 3's with your barrels like others have with KKM and WC among others?

Are you guys seeing a noticeable difference in accuracy in the Gen 3's with your barrels like others have with KKM and WC among others? View Quote In short, no, nothing out of the norm. We've found in real world testing from heavy users that they are pretty much the same. On the other hand, we've put the guns with various barrel combinations through the hands of new women shooters taking part in a local weekly womens course and found that the gen 4 MIGHT be a hair more accurate only due to the contour/feel of the frame rather than a difference in barrel. Obviously also depending on hand size, backstraps, etc.. I've been running the barrels in both gen 3 and 4 17's side by side for a few months now, and while I shoot most of the time with a suppressor, I haven't noticed anything major between the generations. |

I would be interested in testing a 9mm conversion barrel for the G22. I know those are "in the future," but I figured I'd get in line now.
The discussion about your chambers not being uber tight has me hopeful - I was about to order a LW conversion barrel when they ran out of their "clearance" barrels, and only then did I start seeing discussions about how LW barrels were hard to break in. I kinda thought I dodged a problem there... |

Cool, I'm in the market for a Glock 19 threaded barrel. Put me on the list please!
|
|
|
|
Will update the lists in a few!
Cone, glad it arrived safely. Let us know how it goes! |
|
Would love to try the threaded 43. I am actually in the market for one so would love to try
|
|
Bummer - A Black Friday Deal I can't use...
Well - Like I said, wake me up when you have a G20 10mm - threaded, ready to look at. |
|
List is fully updated. If I missed you let me know!
Looks like some of the members who have received the barrels already started getting to work on them. Hopefully this "program" continues to move along smoothly |
|
Well damn! I'm going to keep an eye on this thread. I'll be in the market for a barrel here in the future!
|
|
|
|
If you're still adding to the list, I would love to try out the G43 barrel.
|
|
|
I'd like to try a 43 barrel. If that's not an option, I could give one a run in my 19. Thanks

Any word on G34 barrels?
I'd love to test one against my OEM and my incoming ZEV barrel. |

Alright, sometime today I'll be compiling the 34 list from all 6 pages. I should have the barrel in my hands tomorrow and will either get it out tomorrow or Friday.
I'll contact the first person for their info as soon as I have the list done. |
|
There are several serious G34 competition (USPSA) shooters on this board. If you REALLY want to get them wrung out, get them in our hands.

|
|
I just picked up a G34 LEO trade-in. I would love to test drive one of these against the factory glock barrel and compare it to the Zev I got on BF.
