| I have a Glock 32. And due to ammo prices I would like to swap in a .40 S&W barrel. I've read on another board that the factory Glock .40 chambers leave the cartridge slightly unsupported. I'm sure it's been discussed here. Anyways I'm looking for a better than factory, fully supported chamber, .40 S&W barrel that will fit my 32. |

Don't fall for the "fully supported chamber" hype. There is no such thing as a fully supported chamber in a .40 auto pistol. An aftermarket barrel may provide slightly more chamber support than the factory barrel with no benefit and at the possible expense of reliability.
The Glock factory .40 barrel is the best barrel for your pistol unless you are reloading and using hard cast lead bullets. |

If you're making your own ammunition, that might be a concern. But other than that, new ammunition will run flawlessly through the Glock barrel. (I make my own rounds in .40 S&W, and still don't worry that much about the barrel).
Get the factory barrel unless you're planning on reloading hot rounds. |
