sdm74 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I plan on buying a kkm barrel for my m&p pro 5". I am laid up after a knee operation and will be loading lots of rounds. What OAL are you guys using for a 9mm? I currently have mine at 1.12 will this work for me when I get the kkm barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wait to you get the barrel. OAL is barrel and bullet specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Please post the accuracy of the new barrel vs the stock barrel. I have been considering buying one. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french toast Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 suggestion, i would load several dummies and keep them for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm74 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just got the barrel today and the finish looks great. Very smooth on inside, especially when compared to stock. The stock barrel seems to have tiny cross cuts. Where as the kkm is like glass. My OAL of 1.124 seems to work fine, even had a round drop in the kkm that wouldn't in the stock barrel. The fit is nice and tight when I push down on barrel while in gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How does it shoot? Is accuracy better than the stock barrel? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm74 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Gonna try it out tomorrow. I'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kv501 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I load 124 gr MG hollow points to 1.125 in mine and have had great luck. It actually would take a longer OAL, but I have another gun that likes 1.125 so I just kept it the same. No die adjustments between the two.

Severian Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I plan on buying a kkm barrel for my m&p pro 5". I am laid up after a knee operation and will be loading lots of rounds. What OAL are you guys using for a 9mm? I currently have mine at 1.12 will this work for me when I get the kkm barrel? I load my 124 Precision Delta JHPs out to 1.137 with my factory barrel. They are much more accurate for me at that length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lnxgeek Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I am also interested in the accuracy comparison vs the factory barrel. Also, did it require fitting? Or was it truly "drop in"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
