Dr. Phil Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The one in my Fusion 6" is very accurate, but has a rather tight chamber. It causes problems if I don't chamber check everything. it will go "almost" into battery (within about 1/4") and is usually really stuck and hard to open (and forget pushing it into battery!). Bought a checker and lived happily ever-after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have 4 Storm Lake barrel and I think they are great barrels. The only one I had any problems with was the .40 cal. for my Glock 35. I needed to ream the chamber a little for some of my reloads to fit. Other than that they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRichardson Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Seems lik good barrels. Had one in my xdm open gun that I traded. Only issue with it was that the throat was pretty short and really narrowed the projectile choices down, no JHPs for major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple procedure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple procedure.... Yeah it really turned out to not be that big of a issue. I just used MG CMJ's and Berrys thick plated HBRN bullets. The magazines wouldn't hold rounds much longer than I could get by with that way, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregshin Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 great i'll order that storm lake for my 2011! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Got one for my Para P14, dropped in without any problems. Shoots very nice, but as Dr Phil said, the chamber is on the tight side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
