Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of aftermarket Glock threaded barrels?

Aftermarket barrels like the Double Diamond series offer improved accuracy due to tighter tolerances, fully supported chambers to prevent the 'Glock bulge' for reloaders, and traditional rifling compatible with lead bullets. They also allow mounting of compensators and suppressors.

Why are thread protectors important for Glock barrels?

Thread protectors are crucial because the fine threads on a barrel's muzzle are delicate. Without protection, they can easily get 'dinged' or damaged by impacts against hard surfaces, making it difficult or impossible to attach accessories like compensators or silencers.

Can I use lead bullets with Double Diamond Glock barrels?

Yes, Double Diamond barrels feature traditional rifling, unlike the polygonal rifling found in factory Glock barrels. This traditional rifling allows you to safely shoot less expensive lead bullets without the risk of excessive fouling or clogging the barrel.

What is the 'Glock bulge' and how do aftermarket barrels address it?

The 'Glock bulge' refers to brass expansion at the base of a fired casing due to the unsupported chamber area in factory Glock barrels. Double Diamond barrels have fully supported chambers, which prevent this expansion, making them ideal for handloaders who want to reload their brass.
