If you're talking about Wilson Combat, then I'm sure the barrel will be fine...so would Lonewolf, KKM, Bar-Sto, etc., etc.  I don't know if Wilson barrel manufacturing, which isn't related to Wilson Combat, makes Glock barrels.

What makes the Wison barrel "match grade"?

I think match barrels for a glock are a waste of money IMHO. 90% of the people out there can't take advantage of the accuracy of a stock barrel. If you shoot 12 inch groups at 10 yards a match barrel won't help. I can shoot 5 inch groups at 25 yards with my 35 in matches but the gun is more capable than that. I'm not. I think the money is better spent somewhere else. Just my .02 cents.

In my opinion the glock is a fighting pistol.  I can't see putting a "match" barrel in one that would just be a waste of money....my .02

I don't recall ever seeing an aftermarket barrel advertised for a Glock that wasn't advertised as a "match" barrel.  I own a bunch of aftermarket barrels for my Glocks.  I guess  they're all "match" barrels.

No offense to the OP, we all had the same questions starting out. Nothing Wilson Combat does is any better than how Glock makes barrels.

I was to make my own Glock barrel and advertise it as a "tactical barrel" or "operator barrel" or "tactical operator barrel".
