Onepocket Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 What barrel and why? Any change in accuracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 KKM Drop in. Locks up tight, Very Accurate and are probably the #1 selling Aftermarket Barrel for Glocks. That's what Team Glock used in the Bianchi Cup. Team Glock could have any barrel they want, so that tells you something. I have 3 KKM's and they are all Flawless..

JBP55 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 As stated above, KKM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niceash Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 KKM, use that in my 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah. I have a KKM in one of my 34's I use for production and maybe it's me but I can't tell a difference in accuracy. Nothing against KKM but I think the lock up with glock factory barrels has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreGarciaTAT2 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 KKM drop in... OR, lone wolf drop in... Fun fact... They are EXACTLY THE SAME. Storm lakes have mixed reviews, I'd avoid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Doc Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Lone Wolf made in Korea, Storm Lake made in the USA so they are not exactly the same. I own both storm lake and kkm Glock barrels and shooting with a delta point at 20 yards from a bench rest the kkm is more accurate by a hair.

Steven420 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Kkm, but only because I like the finish. I've had both and they are pretty close.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have never found anything wrong with the OEM Glock barrel. Bullet goes where the front sight is during competition. JR/LWD gave me several of his barrels in appreciation for helping develop his connector. Accuracy wise I see no difference in OEM and aftermarket. Oh, I am one of those morons that shoots lead bullets out of a OEM barrel. Been doing it for 15+ years. Dang MarkCo where were you when I needed you to tell me my gun would blow up?

CANDERSEN Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I recently sighted in a friends gun - 4th generation Glock 19. He had both a KKM and the original factory barrel. I found that the factory barrel was consistently more accurate. It was a big surprise to me. Edited September 26, 2014 by CANDERSEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper046 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I started with OEM. Bought Lone Wolf barrels so I can shoot lead (yes, I bought into the internet hype about lead in OEM barrels...LOL). Switched to KKM. Here are my thoughts: 1) OEM: good accuracy. Generous chamber tolerances 2) Lone Wolf: good accuracy. Tight chamber tolerances (had to send barrel back to be reamed for my reloads). Good value. 3) KKM: very good accuracy. Tight chamber tolerances, but not as tight as Lone Wolf. If you don't reload and/or buy into the "no lead in a Glock barrel" theory....stick with OEM and just shoot the snot out of it! If you reload, KKM is the best. Tighter chamber means less expansion of the brass (which leads to less working of the brass in resizing, etc.). The traditional lands and grooves are great for lead bullets. It does lock up tighter than OEM. Hope this helps. Z- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcarr Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 KKM drop in. When I got my barrel in ... I went straight to the gun to put it in... it would not fit... had to clean the gun to get it in... and the gun was not that dirty !!! It has been great ever since !!!

CANDERSEN Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Has anyone measured and compared the dimensions of the KKM, Storm Lake, Wilson Combat and OEM barrels??? I am thinking that the critical dimensions maybe between the the end of the barrel hood and the edge where the barrel locks up into the front of the slide. The less the better.

lawboy Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Glock's stock, 9mm barrels are very, very good, and have been for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What about a KKM fitted barrel? Is it worth the trouble over a drop in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think KKM only sells drop in barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onepocket Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm just telling you what the guy at KKM told me. The only thing I like different about the KKM over the factory barrel is its easier to tell when it's clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 KKM did offer gunsmith fit barrels but I think they dropped them sometime back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just supplied a link where you can buy one. ZEV also sells fitted KKM barrels....I think anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have had both StormLake and KKM barrels in my glocks and pretty much liked both of them. I do not feel you can go wrong with either one. I currently have KKM barrel in my glock 34 and S&W M&P Pro 5'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You cant fit a barrel to a gun without having the gun present. Keep that in mind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
