RangeBuyer from United States, CA Public Profile

I was a bit skeptical of this barrel before deciding to buy and try. For the price, I figured if it didn't work out, I'd be only be out about $45, so why not? I didn't like that there were so few reviews and they were either "5 stars, but haven't fired it yet" or "1 star, do not buy."

I paired this barrel with a brand new Trybe Glock 19 slide, a Trybe slide parts kit and mounted a Vortex Viper RDO. Before taking to the range to break in, I did polish the feed ramp with some Flitz and a rotary tool, then I gave the exterior a generous coating of red tacky grease. The lock up and action did not have any issues/hangups when dry firing, so I then moved on to live fire. I have put 460+ rounds through this setup and have not had a single FF/FE issue.

When compared to my OEM Glock 19 slide with Vortex Viper during my last trip to the range, I shot the Trybe setup slightly more accurately. Take that as you will, however for me if I can shoot as good or even slightly better than OEM, I think it's worth writing up a 5 star review to share my experience with this barrel.
