I spent much of my youth involved with firearms and felt the call early on to the United States Marine Corps, following in my father's and his brother's footsteps. I have put together a couple of videos showing me use the barrel, and while a photo is worth a 1000 words, a video is worth a 1000 frames. The two reloads were loaded with initial and close to maximum charges of IMR 700X Here is a side by side comparison of the factory Glock barrel as compared to the Lone Wolf in accuracy with nothing else changed in the pistol. You can take the Lone Wolf barrel out of the box, drop it in your pistol, and go shooting. Many of the others while more expensive require professional fitting. There are a lot of options when it comes to aftermarket barrels for the Glock, but why I favor for the Lone Wolf barrel is while they are not very expensive they are match grade and drop right in. I have been using my Glock 17 as a test platform as well as a match pistol so I contacted Lone Wolf about a threaded match barrel to use and abuse. I have tested Lone Wolf barrels before, you can read my review of the 10mm Auto barrel for the Glock 20 by following this link. In addition to those reasons, Lone Wolf has plenty of options as far as barrels go, from length, threaded, ported, and conversion. Lone Wolf barrels utilize a match grade chamber that has proven to aid in having the accuracy edge over the factory Glock barrel without sacrificing any reliability. Glock chambers are generous in dimensions and while this promotes reliability it can cause a loss of accuracy and working the brass, shortening case life. Glock factory barrel on the left, Lone Wolf on the right. With the cost of jacketed bullets being so much more than lead, the Lone Wolf barrel pays for itself pretty quick. Lead bullets are a whole lot cheaper than jacketed and if you cast your own there is a lot of money to be saved. The first and maybe most important is while Glock advises against shooting lead bullets in their pistols, with a quick and inexpensive Lone Wolf barrel swap you can safely shoot lead bullets. First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with factory Glock barrels, but there are a few reasons to swap out the polygonal barrel from Glock for one with traditional rifling.
