Does a match barrel make a difference in Glock?
While factory Glock barrels certainly supplement the durability and reliability of all Glock models, there are a number of reasons that lead to wanting to upgrade the barrels.
Glock owners who are looking to improve accuracy will benefit from swapping a standard OEM barrel out for a Glock 19 match barrel.
A Lot of people consider a Glock 19 to be a 25-yard and in pistol. There are a few things you can do to effectively stretch the distance out to 50 yards and beyond. At 50 yards, a match barrel will cut your group in half as long as you’re doing your part.
Upgrading to an aftermarket match-grade barrel and using premium ammunition will result in greater shooting accuracy from your Glock 19.
These barrels are given a PVD or black Nitride coating to increase resistance to surface wear, lubricity, and barrel life. All barrels are conventionally rifled for a wider variety of compatible ammunition, including cast lead.
They also drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. A more consistent, tighter lockup than OEM is ensured thanks to their better-than-factory tolerances. We offer both threaded and non-threaded barrel options for your Glock 19. All pistol barrels are 100% machined in-house.
Additionally, Faxon Glock 19 barrels are universally compatible with Glock 19 generations 1-5.
Wilson Combat
Wilson Combat match barrels are fully machined from aircraft-grade stainless steel blanks and heat-treated to R/C 40 for maximum service life. Critical manufacturing tolerances are held to less than .0005" (one-half thousandth of an inch!).
To give you phenomenal accuracy, extreme care has been taken to assure that the chamber is glass smooth and perfectly concentric with the bore. In their barrel tests, they’ve routinely obtained test groups of 1/2" at 25 yards! Throughout the manufacturing process, each barrel undergoes multiple quality-control checks, with a detailed final inspection prior to receiving the Wilson name.
Due to variations in pistol dimensions, installation in some pistols may require very minor material removal which most people can easily do themselves. A fully supported chamber and conventional, broached rifling is compatible with all bullet materials reducing the risk of dangerous pressure spikes caused by shooting lead bullets in polygonal, factory barrels.
Compatible with all Generations of Glock handguns.
Agency Arms
The new Agency Arms Syndicate Barrel offers great performance at an affordable price. This model designed for the GLOCK 19 features a smooth profile without fluting and a target crowned muzzle. The Syndicate Barrel GLOCK G19 is made to the same standards as the other models out of high-quality 416R stainless steel and extremely consistent broached rifling at a 1:10 twist rate.
The Agency Arms Syndicate barrels for G19 come in three different finishes and this specific model comes with the gold Titanium Nitride finish that is extremely durable while giving your pistol a unique look. Upgrading your Glock with high-quality components without breaking the bank just got easier with the Agency Arms Syndicate series of parts.
Designed for Glock 19 Generations 1-4 (Will NOT fit Gen5)
Benefits of a Glock 19 Threaded Barrel
Glock owners who are looking to suppress or install a compensator on their Glock 19 will want a threaded barrel.
There are several brands out there with threaded barrel options, but we believe that Faxon Firearms offers the best bang for your buck when it comes to a Glock 19 threaded barrel. They also give options in terms of fluting and finish which all add to the overall durability and longevity of the barrel.
Machined from triple stress-relieved 4150 carbon steel with a hard nitride finish, Faxon Glock 19 barrels are guaranteed to be reliable and can handle extremely high temperatures.
Faxon Firearms EXOS Compensator
The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is one of the best to enter the industry. Granted it’s not the only player in town, its design, ease of installation, and performance have put the competition on its heels.
Constructed of black anodized 6061 Aluminum, the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator features a uniquely angled front port single chamber design, enabling the compensator to improve shot-to-shot consistency by reducing muzzle climb and felt recoil.
The angled port design allows gas to deflect upwards and to the sides as opposed to only deflecting to the sides. This reduces the up and down muzzle movement and improves overall reliability.
Finally, the Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is designed to fit flush with the slide and has been optimized for Faxon pistol barrels.
Conclusion
Glock markets itself as perfection out of the box. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t take an already proven design and modify it to suit your style and needs.
Swapping out the stock barrel is just one of many things you can do to elevate the performance of your Glock 19.
We highly recommend Faxon’s Glock barrels for your next build or upgrade. Not only do they fit ALL generations of Glock, but there is no need for any type of gunsmithing to make them fit. Other aftermarket brands are not able to make those claims. Additionally, there’s a noticeable difference in accuracy at distance and they will last you a long long time.
