Kaldor Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looking at replacing my stock barrel my Pro with a 5" barrel with a KKM. Did a little looking this AM, and they seem hard to find. Anyone know of a shop that has them in stock at a reasonable price? Or am I best off just calling KKM and ordering direct from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingjoe27 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Someone had one in the classifieds just recently, a little digging and you might find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgj3 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 You can definitely order direct. That's what I've done for the 2-3 I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 It is not KKM but Midway USA has Storm Lake barrels for $150. When I got mine from there they were $129. I am very happy with the accuracy out of mine but it does have a tight chamber. A Udie and Lee FCD makes very good ammo for the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldor Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Called KKM yesterday and ordered one. $175 shipped. Should be here by the weekend. I have an older 1 dot barrel, Im hoping this will improve accuracy. Edited August 19, 2015 by Kaldor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JatCarver Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do people see a increase in accuracy with these after market barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do people see a increase in accuracy with these after market barrels? I did, but my 9L was an early model. The KKM barrel definitely improved my groups with factory ammo and reloads. I understand the newer factory barrels have been improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KKM barrel definitely improved my groups with factory ammo and reloads. I understand the newer factory barrels have been improved. I expect I will as well. 6-8" groups rested with proven reloads at 50' is not acceptable. I could have went to S&W and had them replace my barrel with the 2 dot version as I have the 1 dot, but elected to go a different route because I dont feel like screwing around with S&W warranty claims on a pistol that is no longer stock.

If the KKM doesn't show much improvement, spend an evening fitting the apex semi-drop-in to your gun. With heavier bullets (I shoot 135s almost exclusively) the gun went from 6+" at 25yd to two inches. Probably less, but I'm not a terrific group shooter to be quite honest. Even given that limitation, the improvement is dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
