So here's the deal:

I have a Glock19 & I'm awaiting an SWR Trident.

Could I buy a Glock17 factory barrel for $140 and have that barrel threaded?

Or would it be better to buy a threaded LoneWolf bbl for $140. Are these barrels better than factory Glock barrels? Have your groupings gotten better?

-Thanks

17 barrels will not work in the 19.

I've been happy with my threaded Lone Wolf barrel in the Glock.

Enough so that I just bought another one for a different gun.

Thanks for the replies. I will go with a LW bbl... I just have to find one in stock.

Do they have polygonal rifling like Glock bbls ? Is that bad or good?

No they have regular rifling.  OK to shoot lead bullets.  LWD barrels are every bit as accurate as factory Glock barrels.  You will be happy with it.

Because the design is different.

The locking block area is different.  19 barrel will fit in a 26, but no 17 in a 19.

ok, thanks.  

I hope a 17L fits a 34.  I wanted to get one to thread for a can.

It will work, and that's the best option by far (both the bbl and host setup).

that's what I've had so many say also.  
I guess if someone wanted to get a threaded barrel for a 19 or 26, they would have to buy aftermarket.
