Has anyone used one of these barrels? How does it work? Thanks

GRAN I recently built a G20LS and used the 6.62" threaded barrel. I'm still in the process of getting the recoil spring matched to my handloads but so far it has been very accurate and 100% reliable with factory ammo. I'll post a target pic as soon as I figure out how to post....hahaha
I have three LWD barrels aa 9x25Dillon 6" for the G-20SF and two factory length in 357Sig and 9x25Dillon for my G-29.
The chambers have been great and performance even better.
Some day I will be looking to get a long 10mm barrel for G-20, if they had the 9" with threads cut, I'd probably buy one.
For now, I'm only using the factory 10mm barrel. :-[
I have the 2 port LW and the 6.62 threaded LW barrels for my G20sf gen3 and both have worked flawlessly and the 4.6 2port LW barrel on my G29sf gen3, which also works flawlessly. Some say you might need to polish the ramps but mine didn't need it.
I may have the distinction of having both of the Glock stock barrels and they are both virgins, never having a round fired through them.

I have a 6" non-ported in 10mm and a 6" non-ported in .40S&W for my G20 SF. I have had the both for over a year and have put ~ 1000 rounds through each, ranging from low energy PMC up to nuclear Underwood. No problems with either. Both are well made, accurate and give full case support (i.e. no evidence of case bulging).
I'm not sure if its my imagination but the 6" 10mm barrel seem quieter (from the shooters perspective) than the factory 4.6"
I suppose I'm the only one with issues.
I tried one on a Gen4 G20 and it made it unreliable. It wasn't because the round wouldn't go into the chamber. It was because the slide would pass over top of the next round in the magazine with high impulse ammo. It seemed it must have introduced just a bit more frame flex that pulled the magazine away from the slide at the worst time.
Stock barrel works great for everything but UW 220 cast, and that round just doesn't like to go into battery. A more traditional failure to feed.

If I'm not mistaken all of us with no problems have gen 3 10mm glocks.
Doug
Yep, That's what I have, a G20sf, gen 3. Thanks for the info
I have 3 different lone wolf barrels and all work great. Two are extended and ported and one is a conversion to 40sw. I do polish the feed ramps when I get them so I cannot speak to how they run straight out of the box.
From an armours perspective I can tell you I'm not a fan of the Gen4 glocks. They work great as long as you don't make any changes. The actual changes between the models were subtitle but for some reason you can't improve upon the trigger (I tried with a new G41) and they don't like aftermarket barrels? Any one wanting to customize a Glock I will always recommend a Gen3, and for the time being Glock is still producing them.

My G20 G4 has worked flawlessly with the KKM 6" barrel.
no issues with my stock length lone wolf, or storm lake. Both are accurate and have had 0 malfunctions.

Are you referring to drop in trigger kits not working?
G20SF with a 9" Lone Wolf barrel...thinking about getting the end threaded for a compensator :)
Perfect Whitetail Deer & Hog hunting pistol now!!
I have a G20 gen 3 SF, have never tried anything other than the stock 4.6" barrel. I am wondering how much difference does the 6" make? Pros and Cons of switching to a 6"??
QuoteI am wondering how much difference does the 6" make?
About 65 fps per inch!

Slightly more velocity.
Maybe more accuracy.
Less recoil.
A longer gun which takes a fraction of a second longer to remove from the holster.

I have a 6.6" in my G20sf and a 4.6" - 2 port - in my G29sf - both LW's and I can feel a definite
difference in recoil with the same loads - the hotter loads - 180gr - 1250fps - the 29 snaps with recoil while the 20 pushes with recoil - the 29 I had to go with the 15rd 20 mag with adapter to handle the recoil - the added length on the grip made all the difference - made the 29 a 20 with just a little shorter slide, but with a 20 barrel length, works great for me - best of both worlds in the 29.( my EDC )

Any accuracy gain will be either due to a better barrel construction or luck. A longer barrel of similar quality may be more or less accurate than it's shorter cousin's depending on the individual barrel.
Better accuracy with a longer barrel if the slide is also longer creating a longer sight radius. I found that I made marginally more accurate groupings with my G20SF w/6.6" barrel and long slide than the stock set-up.
Agreed that a longer sight radius would improve accuracy. But, that requires a longer slide, not just a longer barrel as is the core question.
I have lonewolf 10mm & 9x25 for my G20 and a 9x25 for my G29. The 10mm LW barrel was giving me a few FTF rounds. I polished the feed ramp and it runs fine now.
No other issues.
I have a Glock 20 Gen 4 and a 6 inch 9x25 Lone Wolf Barrel and have had zero issues.
TnGroundhog, Welcome to the forum! I see you are also shooting the 9x25Dillon. Do you also handload your own ammo?
If you do and care to share some load data and range reports please do so in the various sections of the forum.
Best regards and congrats with you G-20 Gen 4. :D
