Reviews & Ratings for Lone Wolf Arms AlphaWolf Glock 43 9mm Threaded Barrel, 1/2x28 — 8 reviews — Page 1

Great fit and finish- exactly what I was looking for.

The barrel itself seems fine. Probably worth a 5 star rating. However, there is a problem with at least one major manufacturer's pistons for threaded Glock 43 barrels.

A typical piston makes contact with the shoulder of the barrel at the base of the threads. The Glock 43/X/48 barrels have such a narrow shoulder that it does not provide a desirable contact surface. Many manufacturers make a specific piston for this model. The piston has an internal collar that makes contact with the muzzle instead, providing an adequate contact surface.

In the case of the Alpha Wolf barrel, the threads are not quite long enough for the muzzle to make contact with that internal collar as intended. Instead, the rear of the piston contacts the insubstantial shoulder of the barrel first, thus creating the same issue as a standard 1/2x28 piston.

Clearly, the SiCo barrel has just enough thread for the muzzle to make contact first, as designed. Other brands may or may not. The Alpha Wolf does not. It's a matter of a few thousandths of an inch, but it's enough to be a problem.

In short, the barrel seems fine, but if you opt for a 43 specific piston as is recommended by and available from many companies, be sure your muzzle makes contact with the piston and not the shoulder.

Gave them a second chance after my 10mm barrel failed. FTF/FTE, just trash, just don’t waste your time or money. Looks good as always, but I can’t even rack it 3 times in a row. It jams both feeding and ejecting and won’t even let me lock the slide.

Nicely made and fits perfectly snug in my glock 43. I was worried because I ordered one from another company and called no joy. It wouldn’t rack another round and often double fed. So, this is take II. It fired well with and w/out the can on. Highly recommended!

Dropped the barrel in and it fit perfect and looks great. I have had no problems with feeding any ammo through this barrel. I put a cheap suppressor on it with no issues and fires several rounds with the suppressor on. No issues with my carry ammo or target ammo. Great product

Perfect fit - fast shipping and the best for last. Fit the Glock like a glove. Instructions were even better than expected. Best price on the web! No need to waste time shopping any where else . Web site easy to get through. Can’t wait for my next purchase from Optics.
