J-Rob Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If I primarily shoot 147gr with my G34, is a KKM barrel a suitable option for an aftermarket barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galt11 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 IIRC, I was told Blacklist Barrels were great for 147s as you can order them with a faster twist to handle the heavier bullet. I think it was a 1in 10 or 1 in 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgh Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I shoot 147 Bayou in a KKM G17. Great barrel. A bit more accurate than stock (KKM is sub 2" @ 25 yd) and I can shoot anything through it. Chamber is tighter than stock so you want to be aware of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've found the stock barrel to be the most accurate. I'm can shoot sub 3" groups off hand at 25 yds with my stcok barrels with ease. If I really bare down I can get sub 2" . Every time I've tried an after market barrel the accuracy has gotten worse. I've twaeked loads, tried different barrels, different twist rates. Each time it got worse. Now let me say they've all be drop in. I've never tried a fit barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyglock Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 both stock and KKM barrels are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If accuracy is the concern, somewhere on the internet there is a comparison of the accuracy of aftermarket Glock barrels. I believe KKM did very well.

Sniperboy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Is there an underlying reason you feel the need to buy a KKM barrel? I have shot 147gr jacketed & plated out of a stock barrel safely and accurately. Edited January 18, 2018 by Sniperboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock accuracy is fine for most of what a Glock is used for. Just be aware of the leading issues if that is a concern for you. For plated and Hi Tech coated bullets, my stock barrels don't have leading at minor velocities. You can save some bucks shooting the stock barrel.

colt1911 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If you cant repetitively shoot 90's on a B8 at 25, an aftermarket barrel is only going to be a show piece for you, its not going to make you shoot lazerbeamz automatically.... But, here you go, this is just 1 of a few reputable tests done on glock barrel accuracy, I'll link another in a minute..... all in all KKM is top of the pack, s3f and blacklist aren't far behind, agency barrels aren't in any of these tests, but i know a few peeps that swear by the premium line ($$$) Barrel Race 2017 — Victory Gun Blog.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
