Flork Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Locking Blocks....Yes, once we're able to proof a new design that does the job we want. I wouldn't expect it for at least 6 months. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Maybe I will get a Bar-Sto for the next M&P, just could not wait any longer and got a KKM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flork Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hey guys, I know it's taken a long time to get anywhere with these barrels. All I can say is that we're sorry they're taking so long to come off the production line. Scott @ Apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you putting it in? Put the KKM in an M&P 9Pro, ran it at RM3G and it ran 100%. Cut my group sizes by about 70% at 25 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're under an inch at 25 yards, or, did you have one of the really crappy, factory barrels that did 4-6"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My factory barrel started out at 4" at 25, but by the time I hit 1K, it was over a foot pattern. The KKM dropped me down to 3" with 147s and 4" with 124s at 25. The factory barrel was "less terrible" with 124s and terrible with 147s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sin-ster Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 My KKM with my load is sub-2" @ 25 with my shoddy bench rest skills. Manny shot 1" at 20 yards offhand with it, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Yeo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The picture above seem to indicate that it is like the original stock barrel, not like the new stock barrel. What's the difference, then, between this and the stock ones? What changes did you guys make? Any design changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) My KKM with my load is sub-2" @ 25 with my shoddy bench rest skills. Manny shot 1" at 20 yards offhand with it, though... And what would you load be? I just bought a KKM to try to get below 6" at 25 yards and are getting 3"-4" with 147's and 4"-5" with 135 and 6"-8" with 124g's all at 130-135 PF.

bmiller Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I was ready to give up on my pro, until I bought a storm lake barrel. Cast my own bullets out of wheel weights with the Lee tl 125 gr round nose mold. Using 5.1 grains of SMP 226 for a 135 pf in my pistol. It is more accurate than I am now. Can keep 5 shots inside of the head on an IDPA target at 40 yards if I do my part. I don't size them, just molycoat and shoot. Bullets are dropping at .358 dia. My pistol did not like .355 dia at all. 147s tumbled on 20 Yard targets. Your results may vary! Edited August 29, 2012 by bmiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can get your hands on some Zero, 125 grain jhp, .356 diameter(.38 Super bullets), or, 124 grain, Hornady XTP, and see if they don't improve your accuracy.

My best groups with the KKM have been with the 9mm Hornady HAP. These are bascially an XTP with a few changes for competition. They are right about 2" @ 25 yards with factory sights.

UTraab Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I get occasional product update emails from Apex. The one that I received today said the following: Apex/Bar-Sto M&P Barrels - Release Date: December 2012 The Apex/Bar-Sto M&P barrels are nearly ready to roll out the door. After more than a year in R&D, the barrels are on the way from Bar-Sto. The initial batches will be for the 4.25" and 5" 9mm M&P's, so those of you with a full size or Pro / L M&P will have yours first. Fitting services will be available from Apex or you can have them fitted by the gunsmith of your choice. The 4.25" Apex/Bar-Sto barrels will retail for $225.00 and the 5" barrels will retail for $235.00. The first batches of barrels will not be available as extended and threaded, but those features will be offered down the road. Here is the link to the entire update post: http://campaign.r20....ohrWKHgujkvlw== Edited November 15, 2012 by UTraab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avedis Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 sorry, couldn't wait. Just sent the slide if for a fitted SL barrel. I will still give yours a chance once it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captramrod01 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That blog post had some pretty awesome information in it. The armorers block and confirmation that they are working on a 22 conversion got me excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
