Faxon Firearms has stepped into the ring of drop-in Glock Barrels. They’re known for their quality workmanship, and so far, these don’t seem to be an exception. Glocks are synonymous with customization, and often the easier to do, the better. If these barrels live up to what Faxon is advertising, they might be a great grab for folks looking to skip the gunsmith.
What Faxon Firearms Had To Say
Faxon’s Match Series Pistol Barrels for G17 / Glock 17 are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a broader range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
