Barrel Question
Hey everyone it looks like my stock barrel for my Gen 2 Glock 23 is in need of replacing soon. I was thinking about just getting another Glock barrel but I I know there are some match grade barrels out there. I just use my for home defense, edc, and the range. Is a match grade barrel worth it or should I just stick with the stock barrel?

You can get a match grade barrel for the same or less money than a factory replacement barrel.

Why on EARTH would you think that the barrel would need to be replaced soon? Has it had over 250,000 rounds through it?

I reload .40 SW, so I swapped out the stock G23 barrel of my Gen2 23 with a Lonewolf. I'd go with a Storm Lake nowadays though. The last couple of Lonewolf barrels that I have seen have had really liberal case support.....at least much more than they used to.

I'm curious, too. What makes you think it needs replacing? That's something that just doesn't wear out all that quickly...
