Reviews & Ratings for Rival Arms RA20G202A Threaded Barrel Compatible With Glock 19 Gen 3/4 416 Stainl — 1 review — Page 1

I had originally bought an L2D Combat barrel. However, after months of waiting for optics planet to ship it (backordered), I decided to cancel my order and get this barrel instead. I have seen Rival arms around and they seemed like a reliable and versatile company. Out of the box it looked great, cool logo with a unique design on top, nice spiral fluting on the barrel, nice black color, and fantastic lockup (better than the OEM by a hair and zero wobble). However, after installing and racking the slide a bunch (not firing yet) I could notice the finish diminishing slightly. After putting 150rds through it (not a single failure, even in the "break-in" period, ran perfectly) I noticed the finish was not holding up in the typical places. I would say the finish is either the same or slightly more durable than OEM barrels, but I was expecting something that would barely wear at all (like the L2D barrel). If I could order another barrel in the same $140 price range (not counting the L2D as the DLC-black is on backorder for the foreseeable future), I think I'd go with GGP or silencerco. Currently runs great and I'll be testing it with a compensator in the next few days when it get's here, but I'll definitely have to spend another $50-$80 for a cerakote job to combat the wear.

Small problem as well: the thread protector looks very cool, but CONSTANTLY gets loose. Even when I'm just practicing my holser-drawing, the protector gets backed-out (when shooting its 10x worse). Its not pro...
