Ive been on the hunt for a 16" 9mm barrel for the last few weeks. I was going to pick up a barrel from Joe Bob but came across this... I've had great luck with BA 5.56 and 5.45 barrels in the past, so I am willing to give a 9mm verision a go. I was a bit leery of ordering from Acme because I have never heard of them. I received an email the next day with shipping info, so we will see when it gets here.

Anyone recommend a Glock bolt for this barrel? I plan on using the Sterns Defense adapter, if that matters.

I have a BA 8.3" 9mm barrel and am very happy with it.

You might as well have had shipped straight to rudy if you want it to feed anything other than round nose reliably.

I've had two BA 9mm barrels and they didn't work with anything out of the box other than round nose.

Glock mags with two different lowers, same issue. Both 5.5" ba barrels only fed RN. I was even told the 2nd bbl even had the "improved" feedcone. The 1st bbl is in the spare parts bin, the second one Rudy fixed.

If you google ba feed cone, you will see I'm not the only one. I remember seeing a thread or two on here.

I see a lot of threads complaining of feed issues using Glock mags, with several makers of barrels.  Not so many with Colt mags or Endomags.  Methinks its a mag issue as much as a barrel issue.
