I shoot a lot of cast and plated bullets so I went looking for a replacement barrel with standard rifling for my Glock 17 gen 4. After doing a little research I picked up a Lone Wolf 4.5 inch stainless for it. The fit is perfect, a true drop in replacement. Being a little longer than the stock Glock barrel it sticks out of the frame just a hair, about a 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch or so. I actually prefer it, give’s the gun a little more personality and doesn’t inter with a thing.
Reliability has been outstanding. I’ve taken it out 3 times now a shot a variety of ammo through it without one problem, no FTF’s or FTE’s, it shot everything I threw at it. After about 450 to 500 rounds using cast and plated bullets there was no leading or copper fouling.
Accuracy was on par if not a little better than with the factory barrel, that is to say it’s capable of shooting tight groups, me not so much, but still at 10 yards off hand I was keeping the rounds in about a 4 inch group. That’s not bad for me shooting this gun and I hope to get better now that I can shoot it more often with my reloads, (there’s just something about the Glock grip angle that throws my shooting off but then I’m not used it either ).
My impression is that it’s a worthwhile investment for any Glock shooter that likes cast or plated bullets.
