[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 2673693, member: 13"] From Roy Yeager: The best drop in barrels I have bought lately were KKM. Lone Wolf has been hit and miss. I had one of their alpha Wolfe barrels split starting at one of the flutes. If they are using it for bear protection it needs to be as reliable as possible so the factory barrel and jackets bullets would get the nod. The latest trend which is sticking a 9" barrel on the gun is also a hit and miss. You may have seen some of the posts about guns stringing shots after they put a 9" barrel in a Glock. The reason is with the extra barrel weight out front some guns won't lock the same way after each shot. The more barrel there is to rock back and re lock the more the effect is amplified. It is one if the pitfalls to buying parts and just sticking them on the gun. I have been thinking about doing a post on does and don't of Glock mods. That is one of the issues I want to cover. Another point is that no barrel should be considered just a drop in. Any aftermarket part may require fiting such as feed ramp work. The short answer would be KKM and take necessary steps to make it run. I have achieved s I me incredible accuracy with their barrels but have had to re-clearance the recoil block on some of them and do some feed ramp work on a few. It is worth it to me because I have some Glocks that are capable of 2" 100 yard groups. As long as they are running stock level 10mm loads the factory spring and rod are fine. Off the top of my head the oem G20 spring is 20#. That will work with Buffalo Bore ammo. It gets confusing for people when they see spring recommendations which are more appropriate to conversations about 45, 45 Super , 460 Rowland and .40 Smith and Wesson. The 10mm is already in the pressure range of a 45 Super so it is tuned accordingly from the factory. If they want to change the rod and spring I have had great luck with the NDS sets. A 20# captive spring and rod does add some reliability for long term use. The best single mod to make to a G20 is a set of facts good sights. Right now Fusion sights are the best bang for the buck. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
