The Ballistic Advantage pistol barrels for Glock are made from 416R stainless steel, which is a high-quality, material that is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This type of steel is commonly used in firearm components, including barrels, due to its excellent mechanical properties. The 416R stainless steel used in these barrels is heat treated to achieve the optimal balance between hardness and toughness, making it an ideal material for firearm components.
Ballistic Advantage pistol barrels for Glock are an excellent choice for shooters who want to upgrade their pistol for improved performance and accuracy.
The QPQ and PVD finish used on these barrels provides an extra layer of protection against the elements and enhances the overall appearance of the barrel. QPQ (quench, polish, quench) is a surface treatment that improves the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of the steel. PVD (physical vapor deposition) is a coating process that applies a thin, hard coating to the surface of the barrel. These finish options provide excellent protection against corrosion and wear, making the barrel more durable and long-lasting.
Each Ballistic Advantage pistol barrel is honed and lapped to ensure optimal performance and accuracy. Honing is a process that smooths the bore of the barrel to reduce friction and improve the accuracy of the firearm. Lapping is a process that removes any tooling inconsistencies in the bore and further improves the accuracy of the firearm. These processes ensure that the barrel is free of any imperfections that could negatively impact accuracy or performance.
The 1/2x28 threaded muzzle allows for easy attachment of muzzle devices such as suppressors or compensators, making it a versatile choice for shooters who want to customize their Glock for specific shooting needs. This thread size is a common one in the firearms industry and is widely used for 9mm caliber firearms. The threaded muzzle also makes it easy to attach and detach suppressors or compensators, which can be useful for shooters who want to use their Glock for different shooting scenarios.
