Suppressors Sig 226 after market barrel

[Curnow26]

I have a 226 blackwater 9mm and i have been thinking of getting an after market ss barrel.

I mostely use this for home defense as well as shoting paper at the range.

Would this be a good investment also would it be a good idea to use the new barrel for personal protection or should i stay with the factory for this?

The only barrels i have seen are barsto and have heard great things are there others out there, and if so are they equal in quality?

thanks

Barsto barrels rock, sometimes they will need fitment but the 3 that I have {.357SIG}, dropped right in

Why do you want to use aftermarket?

Unless there is something wrong with the factory barrel (poor fit, shot out/damaged, poor accuracy, etc.), or you need a threaded unit for suppressor use, or something else along those lines, then I don't see any need for spending good money on a new barrel.

If you have your heart set on it, there are plenty of companies out there that offer high-quality aftermarket barrels, with Bar-Sto being a great option, along with Jarvis.

My 226 shoots so good with the factory barrel that I wouldn't spend the money on an aftermarket. From a rest, my Sig puts ten shots into about an inch and a half at 25 yards with boring regularity. When I can do that offhand, unsupported, I'll go looking for ways to shrink groups.

Try benching your 226, or have someone experienced with the procedure do it, and see what kind of groups it'll lay down. If it's under two inches, spend that "new barrel" money on more ammo or loading components and range time.

Just my opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it...

If you want a threaded barrel, then go with a factory Sig. Try top gun supply. I have bought 2 from them. Tough to beat a factory tube. Unless your a human Ransom Rest. JPG

I do not like the after market threaded barrels because they are too long. The manufacturers make them very long to accommodate any possible use and to avoid having them returned. They look like ass with a can mounted.

What is the point and purpose behind it...your factory barrel is fine and if you don't think so, argue the reasoning with Naval Special Warfare since P226s are the flavor.

Re: Sig 226 after market barrel

Ok
That is true it shoots great with the factory barrel.
I was just curious to see if an aftermarket barrel would shoot even tighter groups. I didnt want to spend all that money with out knowing because that could buy a nice add on to my rifles that I practice with alot more.
Thanks

If it is for protection then leave it stock from the factory. That is a time proven platform. If you want to shoot tiny tiny groups with you 226.. go get a used one and build a target gun. But my guess is that the stock barrel will shoot better than you can.. or any of us for that matter. I know mine is far more accurate than I will be at distance.

I don't mess with my defensive guns.. they stay as they come from the factory.. except for maybe sights.

Just my .02

Its a handgun. Unless you shot out the barrel their is no need to modify it.
