What don't you like about Glock barrels?

Well 4 glocks here and I reload witch isn't a problem as I never load hot. It is just Glock barrels are a little loose but that's what helps make Glock reliable.
It's the brass of new bullets sometimes has a split , always have a bulge and the barrel is just not quite accurate , I'm old and need all the help I can get
so aftermarket is easy on the brass and shoots better for me.

Nice!  What needed to be filed to fit?  What is that you used for the "engine" turning?

upper fwd cut was a little tight to lock up to my liking.
The jeweling was done with a 1/4 inch damaskeening tool. simple to do and takes all of 10 min.
what it is ,is a 1/4 in brass tube with a special eraser like thing in it.

Hmm, must be. the slide looks close to a park. grey compared to the frame in the last few pics.

Thanks  I didn't see that tool on Midway.  Maybe they don't sell it any longer?

Edit:  Found it on Brownells site

Looks great, especially liking the jeweling job. Had no idea it could be done by oneself

Thanks for sharing
