MikeG36 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Not cheap but Midway USA has Storm Lake standard length non-threaded SS or Black in stock. (at least for the time being they do....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 KKM is what I have in my G23 and I have about 1500 rounds through it and it's accurate and reliable. The price was reasonable around $150 if I recall about 2-3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to hear from someone who's used both KKM and Stormlake. When I bough my first Glock, a G19, I got a LW barrel for it think that I could not shoot cast lead out of a polygonal barrel. Supposedly The LW barrels (Pre-Alpha Wolf) were potentially more accurate because of tighter chambers But I couldn't tell any difference in accuracy between the factory barrel and the aftermarket. And again, supposedly, a polygonal barrel is supposed to be more accurate than a conventionally rifled barrel. I have 3 of the older LW barrels. A 6 inch barrel for my G20, a 6 inch 40 S&W barrel for the same gun, and a G32 357 Sig barrel for my G23. All are very good and are probably more accurate than I am. The only problem I had was with the G20 barrel that the chamber need to be polished just slightly for some of the underwood ammo becaseu I think underwood uses thicker brass. I sill have the occasional problem with Underwood and always do a plunk test on every new box but the ones that are still just slightly tight I use for test firing and they've never caused a malfunction. The other factor with aftermarket barrels is that once again, supposedly, a drop-in custom barrel in a Glock will not show much difference in accuracy and that to make any difference in accuracy it has to be a barrel that is custom fitted to the slide for more precise lock-up. However, my gunsmith who is specializes in Glocks, got a drop in Bar-sto barrel in trade and used it in his G21 and he said it made a difference in spite of not being custom fitted. Bar-sto barrels have the reputation of being the best custom barrels. Bar-sto barrels are not available as drop-ins. They are either custom fit or Semi-fit and price begin at $225. My KKM barrel was around $150 a few years ago and there was no backlog at the time. https://www.barsto.com/category_main.cfm?ID=G27&cco=36 Edited July 11, 2018 by Borg warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey45 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have Lone Wolf, Double Diamond, and Storm Lake conversion barrels. I have a Lone Wolf for the 27, no complaints other than the short chamber leade. It shoots really well. s45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I think "shooter" and "ammunition" are probably far more important factors in perceived accuracy than barrel quality, at least for a GLOCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other recommendations fo a drop in barrel If you haven't yet found a barrel, check ebay. My most recent conversion barrel was from ebay, a Storm Lake conversion barrel for my Glock 22. It was new and under $120. s45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
