Your Questions Answered
Will this fit my aftermarket Polymer80 or other custom frame?
It is machined to OEM Glock 17 specifications. While it may function in some aftermarket frames, we cannot guarantee fitment. Our staff had a customer return one for being “too tight”—it turned out he was using an aftermarket frame. It worked perfectly when tested in an OEM Glock. For guaranteed performance, use with factory Glock frames.
Is this a threaded barrel?
No. This is a non-threaded, flush-fit match barrel for the Glock 17. The spiral fluting is a cosmetic and functional design feature, not threading for a muzzle device.
Does the thin profile affect durability?
The thin profile is a design choice for weight reduction. It is manufactured from bar stock steel and heat-treated for strength. For standard range and competition use, it provides a durable service life. It is not intended for sustained, high-volume full-auto fire.
