frankge Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I dunno but I keep going back to my glock oem barrel on my G34. Took it to the bench yesterday and maybe it's me but my EFK (non ported) was low and all over the place. The Glock was right on. Shot a match last night and my scores were improved. Are aftermarks barrels really justified or just bling? BTW - I polished my oem so it's shiny too! Edited January 25, 2012 by frankge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOST Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The aftermarket barrels are no good. Send me yours so I can dispose of it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are aftermarks barrels really justified or just bling? BTW - I polished my oem so it's shiny too! Not surprised, EFK is lower quality than Glock. Not sure why anyone would replace a decent quality barrel with one that is lower. Bar-Sto, KKM, sure, but EFK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellM Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I switched to a lonewolf so I can shoot lead practice loads, but I am considering switch back to the OEM barrel for matches when I use jacketed bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 EFK (in my experience) are pretty low quality. Glock barrels are usually ver yaccurate, most people change them out so they can shoot lead, or in some cases eke out that last little bit of accuracy with a custom fit barrel. KKM, Barsto.... those are top notch. Lone Wolf, Storm Lake..... good. EFK - gunshow fodder. Your results may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo11 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I still have the factory barrel in my 34 it's very accurate even off a bench I see no reason to change my barrel unless I was going to shoot lead I shoot mgs through it the way I see it if it isn't broke don't fix it. BTW I bought my 34 from mo local gun shop couple years ago it was range rental gun so I have lots of rounds through my oem barrel it's impressed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Factory Glock barrels are just sweet... no need to change IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockCanMan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 +1 for KKM or Barsto. Throw the EFK barrel away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripod Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I shoot still shot the factory barrel in my G34 using cast lead bullets. Didn't see the need to change, very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GForceLizard Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My experience is that my 3 Storm Lake barrels G17, G22 & G24 are all more accurate than the stock barrels. In 9mm I use the SL all the time. Don't shoot the G22 much and the SL is still in it. My 6" for the G24 will be for sale soon. I'm not convinced that in 40S&W it will feed as reliably as the stock Glock. Cycling does not feel as smooth as the stock barrel. I may get a Jarvis for the G24.

kevin c Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I use the OEM bbls. Maybe its just me, but the hassle of my fitting or paying someone to fit an aftermarket barrel to get a bit more accuracy doesn't seem worthwhile. The OEM barrels are plenty accurate enough for my purposes. Their chambers also seem more tolerant of the mixed bag of brass that I scavenge. Now, if I shot lead, and wanted to worry less about pressure issues, I might go for a conventionally rifled aftermkt bbl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
