In my G20 I went with a Lone Wolf barrel and have no regrets. With the 17 lb spring you can start to see premature opening of the breech and therefore velocity inconsistencies.įWIW, I have several thousand rounds through the G20 and G29 platform and handload for both. Helps keep the barrel locked up till the bullet is out of the muzzle.

Lot's of Videos out there that show step by step instructions for everything. If you can clean a pistol, you can change a barrel, trigger, or any spring on a Glock. I don't know why anyone would send a glock off for work unless it's for a finish coat. I don't reload pistol ammo but have run a bunch of Underwoods 135 and 200 grainers through it and it functions flawlessly. I thought Lone Wolf was going to be the ticket but after reading a bunch of stuff on the internet, I opted to just stick with factory for now as it has been totally reliable. I can't remember why I did not go with Storm Lake. I called KKM as they were my second choice but they were out of stock and he, while a very nice guy, was not sure when they would be in stock again. The Pac Nor deal seemed to be the best where you send them your pistol and they get it feeding 100% before sending it back to you but they have several months of backlog right now. Researched KKM, Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, and Pac Nor. Originally Posted By: teamr2I did this search a couple of months ago. For the range and hunting, the aftermarket parts are the way to go! If you carry it, I would suggest keeping stock parts, as you can buy a new Glock OEM barrel, as they have good chamber support. The hot 10mm's slam slide with the 17lb factory back to fast and with to much force sometimes. I also got a conversion barrel to shoot 40 S&W, that's when I put the 17lb factory back in, as it easier for the light load to push the slide back. Anyway if you want to shoot light loads you don't need a 10mm, just get a 40 S&W. Very light loads don't eject as forcefully or as far, but I have never had a malfunction shooting light loads. Keep your 17lb factory for shooting real light loads. It keeps the gun from taking abuse and really helps keep consistent FPS. If you go with a 22lb recoil spring, remember it is for the hot loads. That link is the Best deal I've seen on one. Based on what you all have told me, the Lone wolf is the way to go, where does one get the spring? The guns will be shooting warmly loaded Speer 180gr GDHP's. They were bought when they first came out. Originally Posted By: BalkandomThey are old, probably 1st generation. The Stock length Lone-wolf is the way to go, if you don't want an extended barrel. With the factory spring and guide rod I sometimes had a 50 FPS difference, now its pretty consistent with the 22lb spring. Also the 22lb wolf spring and guide rod helped with the consistency of the fps from shot to shot. Lone-Wolf is the way to go for the money! I got a 6" lone wolf just for hunting, and I picked up 100-160 fps on various loads. Anyway its not recommended to shoot reloads in your factory polygonal rifled glock barrel. The newer Gen 3's don't usually have this issue, as the sometimes around 2008 they beefed up the chamber support in the stock barrels. I'm interested in a plain stock-length barrel. I have read good things from both websites, but I'm looking for a bit of personal experience. I'm looking for a better barrel for my G20, I'm having the bulging case issue with hot loads.
