Much better accuracy - Faxon Firearms Duty Series Glock 19 Compact 9mm Pistol Barrel

This is my second Faxon MATCH(not duty) barrel I have for my Glock 19s. Having finished building out my own G19, I put a $40 ported barrel to finish the build. It ran great but the accuracy using 115gr ammo was horrendous. Bench testing (having the front and the back resting on solid surfaces) the gun put groups at about 8-10 inches at 25yds. Knowing that I wasn't that bad of a shot I brought out my original G19 with my 1st Faxon barrel and the groups were 1-2 inches at 25yds using the same bench test as above.

I immediately ordered another threaded Faxon Match barrel and tested the results today. After dialing in the zero I got 2-3 inch groups at 25yds. I believe the barrel could do a bit tighter based of the natural mechanical wobble I had in my hands today.

Another interesting note is that when I first bought my original Faxon barrel it was $185, and now, they are around $100 for the same quality barrel. After contacting Faxon on this they said they had streamlined production and were able to pass the savings on to the customer.

Those looking to train with their handguns out to 25 yds and more, MUST FIRST confirm what the gun is capable of with the ammo you will be using. This will save you much frustration when shooting at greater distances with no consistency. This is very important.

Having shopped for every match barrel that exists on the market today I cannot think of any reason to buy a $200-$300 plus barrel when I am already getting 1-2 inch groups.

And, for all you Glock fan boys that like to build you Glock purely based of how cool the parts will look on you Glock. . . . . The Faxon Match barrel looks very cool.
