Extended ported bbl G20

I’ll be purchasing an extended and ported bbl for my G20. Wondering about others experiences with different manufacturers.

No input whatsoever but I'd sure like to see what full house Blue Dot handloads would look like coming out of a ported barrel! Be sure to post range pics!

I have no experience with their ported barrels, but I have a bunch of BarSto barrels in my 1911's and Glocks, and they are great barrels.
Good people to do business with also.

I have not used one for the G20, but have used them on M&Ps. They work as advertised, but at the same time don't expect a huge difference in recoil. You are able to recover a little quicker between shots, but you still have to do your part. Bar-Sto barrels are pricey. Require hand fitting (time and patience), but you end up with a barrel that locks up tight to your particular pistol. Are they worth it? entirely subjective. Same goes for ported barrels in general. Mag-na-port is another option.

I have a factory length BarSto barrel for my Glock 20SF. Fitted it myself, great accuracy, tighter chamber, and improved brass life. I haven’t compared velocity to the factory but would guess it adds a couple FPS.

I will be using my G20 for carry while I fish in Alaska, I have been reading accounts of the G20 stopping charging bears. I have MT Barsto barrels, love them, but considering the application for the G20 I would rather have something with looser tolerances. I don't worry about night time muzzle flash, there will be very little darkness while I am there. I do think it would be worth it to manage recoil, my main concern is shooting while wrestling on the ground. Not sure if ports are a good idea, maybe just go with a 6" non ported and practice a lot.

I do not have experience with a ported G20 barrel, but I have shot pistols with ported barrel, and I do not think they are worth it. They do reduce muzzle rise, but not significantly until you get into the magnum calibers.

FWIW......I purchased a KKM Black nitride extended barrel (non ported) when I owned a G29 for woods carry. Fit perfectly and worked flawlessly in the pistol.
