FAQ

Will this barrel improve accuracy over my factory barrel?

No. This barrel is a direct factory replacement. It is not match-grade or hand-fitted. Accuracy should be identical to the factory barrel assuming proper ammunition and shooter skill.

Does this barrel work with a suppressor?

No. This is a non-threaded 5.00 inch barrel. For suppressor use, select the threaded variant from the same manufacturer.

Will this barrel change my trigger pull or reset?

No. The barrel does not interact with the trigger mechanism. Trigger pull weight, reset, and striker engagement remain unchanged. If you want a trigger upgrade, see the kit available separately.
