I posted about glock replacement barrels in the handgun section and got a lot of good replies and decided that I'm going to go with a drop in barrel that doesn't require fitting, BUT I am curious what is involved with fitting a glock barrel like a Wilson Combat? What would it cost to have fitted, approximately?

Re: Glock barrel
Unless the maker is grossly sloppy, ALL Glocks are drop-in.

To get tight tolerances, Barsto makes both gunsmith-fitted and "semi-drop in." I have the semi-drop in for both my G-17 and G-26. Both went in with a "snick!" and just fit, taking up most all of the slop in the barrel-slide-frame fitment. I just get to shoot them. However, in some Glocks, minor filing might be necessary.
Nothing sloppy about the Barsto barrels, but in order to get the tightest fit, they went with dimensions that will drop in to most, but not all Glocks.
