Probably send off the 19 and 43 barrels this week.

Still been shooting them, have about 500 through each. I don't want to give up the 43

Hurry your ass up with my mail order bride barrel.

GF wanted to shoot her 43 suppressed and yesterday was my first chance to take her

Take your time, just messing with ya, keep that gal happy !

Not 1 single issue.

Please add me to the G19 list! I'd love to give it a whirl...

Thanks!

Dropped the 43 and 19 barrels in an ultrasonic before I left work. Should be clean and ready to ship tomorrow

Is the round count total being kept on these barrels?

It could be interesting to see what the total is after all.

Can I get on the list for the 34 or the 26 if you make it?

I shoot my 26 in PPC Off Duty matches all the time. If the 26 becomes a thing, I'll have a good baseline to compare it to.

I still haven't received the 34 who was it sent trough?

Put 300 rounds next my name on the 43 barrel!!

Thanks I was hoping it was USPS. FedEx and UPS leave stuff at my door I didn't want some one snagging it

I'd love to try out the threaded GLOCK 19 Gen 4 barrel! :)

I have a new 19 and 43 I would to give these a try in, add me to the list please!

Got my very own 34 barrel in.  I like it so far. Supposed to go shoot some Monday

]Finally got the 34 barrel in. Machining is great the threads are a little bit grabby but I think that will help when shooting that way the thread protector stays on[/url]

Had a chance to shoot my 34    Threads were perfect, everything cycled good, even as the chamber got ditry from the blowback.  While I
Didn't shoot for groups, the armadillo about 30 yards out didn't enjoy life.  10/10, will recommend to
Friends

Did anyone own up to still having the g17 barrel?

If you're still taking names, I'd be interested in either the 34 or 19 barrels to test in my gen 4s. Thanks!

Echo the guy above me. If you're still taking names throw me on the list for a G19.

No worries I got my shipment notice yesterday, soon I'll have my own to fondle.

Can I make a suggestion? Can you guys keep track of the amount of rounds you guys put through these? Then when you finish using it, report that to the OP so he can put it next to your name on the list? Would be curious to keep a running tally on how many rounds these things get put on them as they are passed around!

17 barrel hasn't made it to me yet if that narrows down your hunt.

No communication with me on the 17 barrel and I'm 2 above 97531. I didn't expect to get it until late Jan. though if everyone keeps it for a week and a few days to ship.

I am in for any of the 9mm barrels and to give them a spin . I can always use some trigger time

Mike was gracious enough to let me test out a G34 threaded model in my competition guns.  I shoot high volumes in training and was quite eager to see how the Olympic barrels would hold up to hard use.

Upon receipt, I inspected the barrel.  The quality of the machining was evident.  Clean threads and nicely finished.  The model I received was not caliber marked and had the Olympic Cerakote logo marked on the ejection port side.

The plain polished finish is very clean, very slick looking.  

I began function testing by taking a variety of rounds, including reloads and my carry/duty rounds and performing the "plunk test" with an example of each round.  The plunk test is when you drop a round into the chamber freely to make sure the rim of the case bottoms out in the chamber like it's supposed to do, and then spin the case aound inside the chamber.  The goal is to have the round both drop freely into the chamber and also spin freely in the chamber.  Every round I tested passed the plunk and spin test.  

I was very pleased with this result, because it tells me this barrel has a very generous chamber.  A generous chamber is important to me as a competitive shooter because I need my gun to eat everything I feed it.  Especially given that the majority of my ammo shot is reloads from range pick-up brass.  Reload specs can vary pretty widely due to the nature of range brass; a lot of cases are permanently bulged due to people shooting 9 major.  I am a decent reloader, but sometimes my loads won't pass case gauge or plunk and spin in my factory barrel.  I found zero rounds that wouldn't pass in the Olympic barrel.  

Next, I unthreaded the thread protector and intalled the barrel in the slide of my gun.  I racked the slide for function testing with no problems.  Barrel lockup was tight with only the tiniest bit of vertical play when pressing down on the barrel hood, as is normal with Glocks. 

I fired several rounds for simple fuction test and performed a mag dump with no isssues.

I tested three loads:

1.  125gr Black Bullets International (Hi-Tek coated) over 3.7gr Titegroup at 1.133 OAL

2.  165gr Xtreme Bullets (plated) over 2.7gr Titegoup at 1.15 OAL

3.  147gr Winchester Ranger T factory LE ammo

I did several rounds of function and accuracy testing with each load at various distances, from 5-25 yards.  I used ten round groups for more significant results.  I really wish I had access to a Ransom Rest.

The BBI load was markedly more accurate in the Olympic barrel.

The Xtreme load was dead even.

The Ranger T load was slightly more accurate out of the Olympic barrel.

I did take measurements and photos of my groups, but unfortunately as I write this post I do not have access to them.  I will hopefully edit the data and pics into this post in the next few days.

The only minor issue I experienced was the thread protector backing off often under recoil.  After a few strings of adjusting it, I just took it off.  It is not a big deal, because I imagine most people are going to have a suppressor on the end of their barrel or will just do like me and take it off and stick it in their pocket until they bag the gun.  

In conclusion, I am quite impressed by the fit, finish, and function of this barrel.  And at the price point, I think it's a tremendous value.  The threaded being a good option for suppressor crowd out there or a "Roland Special" build which has become quite popular.  The non-threaded being ideal for the shooter or competitor who wants to eke out that last extra bit of mechanical accuracy.

Sign me up to test drive the 43 threaded version.

Also for the G22 9mm conversion when available.

I should have the barrel shipped out by Wednesday

I'd be interested in that demo barrel. Should I just pm you?

Double bump for good vendor!

Come on guys shoot it and ship it! Post some feedback. I thought I'd have the 17 in early Feb. if everyone kept it for a week and 3 days to ship.

yeah I was hoping the list would go much faster.
