Completely unscientific yet noteworthy comparison of stock Glock 19 vs Stormlake barrels

[the count]

For what its worth, take a look at my Glock 19X groups.
Left side is with a drop in Stormlake, right side is stock Glock.
Ammo in both cases plain Federal 115 grain. Distance 10 yards.
Gun was rested on a small sandbag.

Disregard the flyer with each target. The Stormlake target got 6 shots as I initially thought the accuracy was a coincidence...

I am guessing that with a larger test sample the stock shots could be better and the Stormlake shots somewhat worse but don't know for sure. These test results are probably what you could expect with other higher end barrels like a Wilson Combat.

I have a Storm Lake 9mm. barrel for my Colt Commander in .38 Super. Went with them because they offered it as a complete drop-in unit and it wasn't a ramp design. Good thing too I bought it when I did because I see they no longer offer the 9mm. barrel in a Commander size gun! Overall I have been very pleased with the quality of the Storm Lake barrel.

Not enough shots, or the right method, to draw any conclusion.

Same trigger, different barrels.....I would say that at least tells you what is likely a good ammo for that gun with the SL barrel.

I would keep comparing and see if there is any ammo the Glock barrel really likes or if it always shoots less well than the SL. Hard to believe at ten yards the glock would be that bad with every ammunition??

I agree, other ammo might have resulted in different results. Thats why I have the disclaimer in the title. But I would trust my life to the stock Glock barrel any day of the week.

You implied a difference in accuracy between the two barrels, regardless of what your title says. Your results are not sufficient to draw any conclusion.

I draw the conclusion that you are a troll and moron for you are not contributing anything of value. You might not even have a gun? Go play somewhere else and let the adults here do the talking.
