I just bought this, because I want to build a long slide 10mm.


I'm going to buy the LWD slide + slide parts.
I need to settle on a barrel.
I would appreciate any advise regarding  6" KKM vs. Storm Lake barrels.

Regards,
-Pat.

I think both companies make good barrels. I've heard fewer complaints about KKM FWIW.

Why not buy the factory 6" 10mm barrel if you're going to swap slides anyways?

I'm hoping to get good case head support.  I already have a Colt Delta Elite with an usupported chamber.
At true 10mm load levels, the unsupported chamber is very abusive of my brass.
10mm brass is hard to find compared with .45. .40, or 9mm, so I want to get the maximum number
of reloads before brass failure.

I also want to be able to shoot cast bullets.  I'll probably buy a LWD barrel to go with the original
G21 slide, so I can shoot cast .45 as well.
