Who has the best selection of G21 barrels. I'd like a barrel 5-6" in length, threaded and black in 45. Is it pretty standard that the after market G21 barrels are rated for 45 Super?
Are there any caliber conversions aside from 10mm for the G21? Thanks! |

I have one of these in mine.

i'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but look what i found:
$220 gets you a Glock 21 threaded barrel... as in a factory threaded barrel - not aftermarket! i've been fantasizing about running a suppressor and red dot on one of my 21s and when i heard rumor a few weeks back about Glock releasing factory threaded barrels for the 21 i became very interested in going this route (prior to this, i figured i would have to settle for one of the aftermarket options), but i couldn’t believe i found them in stock! i guess it’s no longer a rumor. $220 does seem a little high, but i really like the idea of running a factory threaded barrel. |
| Thanks Guys! It seems like the Lonewolf is the least expensive with quite a few options and I understand good steel. The barrel will be used for suppression and I'd like some additional length for hot 45 Super (w/o suppresion). Pardon my ignorance but the factory barrel link indicates a M16 X 1LH......isn't .578X28 the standard for 45acp? Pretty much any aftermarket barrel(nonpolygonal) is lead bullet safe, right? Thanks again! |

Pretty much any aftermarket barrel(nonpolygonal) is lead bullet safe, right? correct. however, it came be debated (and has been debated) that lead bullets are okay in Glock factory barrels as long as you thoroughly clean the barrel and remove any lead build up. let's not get into that here though. to simplify: it is stated that lead bullets are not recommended, so if reloads are your thing then aftermarket is probably the way to go. |

Shooting lead through a stock barrel has nothing to do with thoroughly cleaning and removing any lead build up. If the lead is of sufficient hardness, and is properly sized, it will not leave lead in the barrel to begin with. |

Thanks again! I just looked on Gemtech's website and the M16 x 1LH seems to be the HK standard so I would guess there are plenty of suppressors with that threading. |

If you are getting leading in your barrel, there is something wrong. Since you shouldn't be getting leading to begin with, there should be no need for cleaning beyond a normal cleaning. What I wrote seemed pretty clear to me. Especially when you read my second statement. It didn't mean to shoot and hope the lead was of sufficient hardness, it was meant to inform, and make sure you do the proper research and ensure you have the sufficient hardness to begin with. If the lead is of sufficient hardness, and is properly sized, it will not leave lead in the barrel to begin with. key word, "if" my point was that it's typically not recommended in Glock factory barrels, but can be done with care. The only people that don't recommend lead in Glock barrels are people that don't know what they are talking about. It doesn't matter that it is typical or not. |

I just read my owners manual "Glock does not recommend the use of unjacketed lead ammunition." |

Quoted: Now back to the thread at hand. I called Glock in Georgia today and they confirmed that the threaded factory 21 barrels are legitimate. The lady I spoke with said they were from Accusport (???) but she didn't know if they were imported or not. Damn. I bought one of the lone wolfs for my osprey a month ago. I would have prefered a factory barrel. |

I just read my owners manual "Glock does not recommend the use of unjacketed lead ammunition." You are correct. It appears that they have added that into the text of their manuals. That has been done in the past couple of years as some of us have had this conversation in the past and that was not in the manual. In either case, I am sure it was at the behest of a tight wad lawyer. The manual also says not to shoot reloads, or disassemble the gun past the point of field stripping, or to carry it with a round in the chamber. But look how many people do that and it is the "cool" thing to do. Not to mention all the people that claim Glock has a lifetime warranty. Never mind that Glock generally takes care of their customers for a very long time. The book still says one year warranty. |
