Happy Days Again ... Police Trade-in $319 M&Ps and $299 Glocks

That’s the best price I’ve seen on the police trade in g23. That’s very tempting, along with a conversation barrel….. nice setup
 
I picked up a glock 22 gen 3 LEO trade in a while back. Bought a 9mm conversion barrel and swapped out the trigger bar and spring. It was a good shooter.

I traded it away for a screaming deal on a g17 gen 4 MOS.
 
Are the BCA conversion barrels any good?
I use KKM/BCA/Lone Wolf/Tactical Kinetics 40-9mm conversion barrels for my Glock 22/23/27 and Glock 17/MagPul magazines.

Bear Creek Arsenal/Lone Wolf and most other aftermarket barrels use 1:16 twist rate which provides good accuracy on par with factory barrel and compatibility with lead/coated lead bullets with better than factory accuracy - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...g-oal-col-for-reference.848462/#post-11068321

KKM uses slower 1:24 twist rate and has produced smallest consistent groups compared to other barrels, especially with lead/coated lead bullets - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...g-oal-col-for-reference.848462/#post-11068318

Tactical Kinetics 1:10 twist rate is compatible with plated/jacketed bullets and produces comparable accuracy with factory barrel (BTW, Glock twist rate is 1:9.84) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...g-oal-col-for-reference.848462/#post-11068320

If you reload, KKM has longest leade/free bore to allow longer than SAAMI max length of 1.169" OAL, beneficial if you plan to load longer rounds for 9mm Major. My BCA barrel came reamed and will allow 1.169" OAL with most FMJ/RN bullets. Lone Wolf and Tactical Kinetics have shorter leades that require shorter OAL as listed in this reference thread - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...col-for-reference.848462/page-2#post-12249361

FYI, Durkin Tactical has Tactical Kinetics Glock 22/23 40-9mm conversion barrels for $49 (20% off with 20off discount code) in black nitride/stainless/threaded - https://www.durkintactical.com/product-category/pistol/pistol-upper-parts/?orderby=price
