Wilson Combat Glock Barrel

[hossb7]

Again no scientific evidence to suggest one is better over the other. Merely personal preference.

So, you just happened to read the one sentence in the original post that said "this test is not scientific", then went off the rails about all the other stuff? da fuq??

What reason would they have to fabricate results? They published a hefty blog post regarding all the work they do, why they do it, and posted two pictures showing a before/after and you're getting bent because it's not "scientific"? You're right, they should have done a double-blind accuracy test then got the results published in a peer reviewed journal

When you have switched on Bullseye/Bianchi type shooters, you can get similar results to the gun rested.

Update:

Wilson Combat Glock 19 barrel ordered. Should receive it next week.

Also occurred to me, it's not fair to compare a 20 year old Gen. 2 glock barrel against a brand new WC barrel.

So I will borrow a new Gen 3 G19 and compare with new WC barrel.

Pictures of shot paper targets coming soon!

You should really do a test of all three barrels.

Not all Glock barrels shoot exactly the same. I put an RMR on my Gen 3 19 and my 10 shot groups at 7-10y were about 1.5 to 2" on average (no flyers). Once I put the KKM barrel in my average group immediately shrank to 1 to 1.5" on average.

I purchased another Gen 3 19 (2014 test date) and it shoots a little better than my original one, but not as good as my KKM. My buddy has a Gen 4 19 that shoots as good as my KKM. He also has a Gen 4 17 that shoots worse than both of my 19s. My Gen 3 17 shoots about equal to my 19s.

The point? Every gun won't benefit from a stainless barrel.

Here are some targets from the KKM Barrel.

7yards 5 shots.


7yards 10 shots (2 mags of 5rnds)


And here is my CCW Qualifier with the 19. 50 rounds total, 10 rounds each at distances between 5-12y.


I'd say the KKM was worth it for me. I have one coming for my 17.

[hossb7]

Do you have anything from beyond 12 yards? Perhaps 25?

[tonyxcom]

No. I am getting ready to re-zero the RMR for 25y though but want to do it from a rest. With the 7-10y zero that I currently have my shots are in the upper 1/2-1/3 of a 6" shoot-n-c at 25y.

Last weekend though I did have 4-5 shots of a 10rnd string at 25y making a nice ragged hole, so I know the gun has the potential.

This was one of my first targets with my M&P at 20 yards:



8 shots in about 2.5 inches but 2 rounds opened the group up to just over 5".

Looking forward to seeing the results. I have a Glock 19 gen 3 that's 13 years old with over 8k rounds. I've been considering upgrading but not sure since I'm so comfortable with the Glock as is.

WC barrel came in last week, work is so busy no chance to get to the range

Initial observations: excellent tolerances, drop in barrel fits/feels better than any aftermarket company I have bought so far.

Can't wait to put holes in paper...

[hossb7]

That's a clean gun. I've always liked the Gen2 G19.

[Sam Z]

Finally got a chance to go to the range

verdict: Wilson barrel functioned flawlessly and is very accurate, slight improvement over stock barrel 1/8" to 1/4" improvement (sorry no pics)

I am happy with the WC barrel and would highly recommend one to those that are interested.

I may have missed it, what were your groups before the Wilson Combat barrel?
