Well made barrel but not a perfect fit. - Stormlake Pistol Barrel for 34029 GL-22-40SW-449 For Glock 22 40 S&W 4.5" Stainless Steel

I bought this barrel on the recommendation of a gunsmith I respect as an upgrade to the OEM barrel. Stormlake Barrels have a great reputation and this barrel lives up to this esteemed regard. It is well-made from top quality stainless steel, the finish is excellent, and the bore is mirror bright. It is easy to clean this barrel! Having a fully supported chamber is important to me as I reload most of my ammunition. I have put over four hundred rounds through this barrel in my Glock 22 Gen4 without a hiccup. It did group a bit better than my OEM barrel with identical ammo. I am rating this barrel at a four instead of five stars because the lock-up to the slide is not a solid engagement. It is a tab better than the OEM barrel in this regard but I wanted a solid lock-up akin to my experience with other pistols I own (i.e. Walther PPQ M2 .40 5"). I understand the variance is appropriate when getting debris in the action is expected, so it may be ideal for someone else's intent. I will be using this barrel until it is replaced with the next one.
