KKM Barrel: Is it worth it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I shot a lot of ammo and came up with a lot less conclusions than I thought I would. What I finally came up with, well... that is the subject, isn't it? I also have another conclusion about Gen 5 Glocks and what bullet weights they prefer.

All my Glocks were KKM barrels.
G20 Gen 4 and G21 Gen 4 and G21 Gen 3. Great Case Support and Accuracy with Hardcast Ammo for Alaska Bear.
If glocks would ship with threaded barrels a lot of these aftermarket companies would be out of business
Truth.
not with reloaders, that wiggly OEM chamber distorts the brass too much
@@rickacton7540 stock chamber on gen 5 Glocks are pretty tight, actually.
@@graydogllc yeah i was talking about gen 1-4
Your “rested” pistol technique looks pretty flawed if your goal was to have the gun recoil the same each shot…a dedicated pistol rest or a proper proven sandbag technique rather than rolling and bouncing off the table top cushioned on the meat of your hand might yield a more credible result…KKM barrels are match grade excellence in my experience.
I will keep it in mind!
Maybe have a camera real close to the target to record which number shot is the flier every group, might really be something inside the gun, mag or even weight difference, id say weight difference maybe if was last shot the flier the gun being more light and have more instability. I don’t think it’s you. And is very important if we figure out these fliers together cuz in a self defense scenario that flier might be the one going loose and hit someone else and something that we not intent to hit
Based on everything I have seen, it is definitely the first shot. I don't think the difference is going to make a change in a defensive shoot, or at least I hope not.
It looks to me like the kkm barrel was quite a bit more accurate .. I don't know if it's worth $150 more than other barrels for edc .. I've been getting my barrels from Spectre Supply lately they seem just fine so far 👍
I got crazy good results from a no name Delta Team Tactical barrel in my Palmetto Dagger build. I do like the KKM, but it may be overkill.
The most accurate pistol I’ve ever shot was a Canik that I got like 13 years ago If not longer but they said it has a match barrel at the gun shop and at 15 yards that gun would put 18 in a 2” circle every time it was incredible I didn’t do any testing with ammo I always just shot cheap ball ammo then one day I figured I needed to upgrade and I miss that gun over 7000 rounds that I know I bought all without a misfire not sure how they are now but man for 250$ that was a steal how far are you shooting your groups ?
Lol, I have shot out to 100 yards for a more recent test. I will be posting a video about it in the next month, probably.
I had a Ruger P85 that did that.. that first shot was always out of the group no matter what I did or how I ran the slide home.. of course that made the gun worthless to me as I enjoy hunting.. ultimately got rid of the gun..
According to one of the guys who works at ransom rest, that first round flier is pretty common. With the 17 I just aim 3" left for the first round now.
@@graydogllc Although I have never used a ransom rest..as a handgun hunter and reloader I have shot literally thousands of rounds off the bench testing loads bullets and guns over the years.. the Ruger is the only gun I've tested that would lock up weird on chambering the first round.. in the day of CNC made guns.. I think common is an overstatement... in my world a handgun that won't shoot 2 in or less at 25 yards will find itself on the chopping block.. in this time of CNC machined guns most hunting type weapons and service autos should meet this standard.. I would sell it and get an example that's built correctly..👍👍
@@6fiddy309 you must chop a lot of pistols. There are very few that will shoot 2" or less from 25. Glocks won't. Smith & Wessons won't. Maybe some Sigs, HKs, and custom 1911 actions.
Flyers are usually my fault weather its long range or my glock. They are just a shitty part of life brother 😂
Lol, oh, agreed, but I tested this with a bench rest!
Watch on dominant hand while shooting then you switched for the tabletop lol. Anyway i dont see getting an aftermarket barrel except for shooting hardcast bullets or a threaded barrel
The KKM barrel proves more accurate than the factory one with 147gr bullets. With 124s it is a wash. I've found that gen 5 glocks prefer 124s, at least in my hands and with my testing.
115 are the most common though. Doesnt the 147 produce more recoil? Seems like it might negate the accuracy boost if you are running a competition
@@freakpower91 115 is most common for practice/bulk. 124s and 147s are much more common for defensive or competition use. And recoil is largely a virtue of the amount and type of powder, no matter what bullet weight. I ran 147s with fast powder for years due to the very light recoil impulse.
I would try to chamber the round with a depressed trigger to get that clean reset on the first shot. Had this issue while qualifying with my g27 until the instructor recommended that.
That sounds an awful lot like a ND. Probably not a step I will mess with.

Oh that’s frustrating.
Hey bro, found you on the B8dev group.
Such a strange issue you're having. P.S what's it like to be rich enough to shoot hollow point ammo? 😂
Lol, this is just from my deep collection. What is worse, I am going to have to do more! There will be another video. I might have to start asking for donations!
@@graydogllc I hear you man. I just shot a bunch of carry ammo this week and I cried a little. It does give me a warm feeling to see how much more accurate I am with it though!

Sorry bud, but it has to be you for a lot of those
Probably.
@@graydogllc since that post, have you noticed a big improvement with the Kkm?
@@Gnome-A-Tron so much so that I still recommend them. The G17 has a wandery first round problem that isn't due to the barrel. I have a KKM in a G34, G19, and G22 (conversion barrel.) They all work 100%.
@@graydogllc greatly appreciate the info! I might need to replace my m&p 9L barrel soon.
