are they any more accurate than stock barrels? looking at getting a threaded barrel for my XD45. just wondering if they're more prone to help or hurt the performance of my handgun. any better options out there?
 
Re: lone wolf barrels

Accuracy is in the shooter I see allot of these barrels on the USPSA range and they are good most are used to allow the use of lead bullets that the factory glock barrels are not rated for. They are good product but I dont belive they are more accurate than stock maybe a tick. I do like the way the threaded barrels look on the guns and I like the discrete ones that do not have the big wolf logo on the barrel hood.
 
Re: lone wolf barrels

Depends on application-

Some people want an extended threaded barrel and the LWD barrels do that well. They also have conventional rifling which works better for lead bullets over polygonal rifling ( if you pistol has it).
 
Re: lone wolf barrels

I've 2 threaded LW's for shooting cast bullets in a G-24 & G-21. They both group better than the std barrels with jacketed pills as well.

The one thing I don't like is both, have much tighter chambers than I prefer.

Lol.
Well I have 3 LWD barrels, 1 Barstow, had a Jarvis and a lot of factory barrels as well. The LWD barrels I have & use have all been excellent.
The chambers are usually tighter and that is the only complaint I have heard.
Concentricity with my threaded barrels are near perfect.
 
Re: lone wolf barrels

I've got two, one for my G27 and G22. The 22 is a dual port and the 27 is stock length. I haven't changed the reloads I use and have noticed a decrease in group size.
