Your Questions Answered
Is this a true drop-in barrel, or will it need fitting?
Based on our in-store testing across multiple Glock 17 frames, this is a true drop-in barrel. No fitting, filing, or gunsmithing has been required for proper installation and function in our experience.
Will this barrel work with my OEM Glock slide and recoil spring?
Yes. This barrel is designed to work with your factory Glock 17 slide and recoil spring assembly. It maintains standard dimensions for reliable operation.
What is the “Radio Active” finish?
The Radio Active finish is the result of the deep spiral fluting process on the stainless steel. It creates a distinctive, non-reflective textured appearance and is not a separate coating or plating.
