Debris inside Striker Channel, Brass Flakes, Gunk

IMO, 17 rounds is not a sufficient number of rounds to determine if a light strike issue has been resolved.

I would pass on the Lone Wolf and get a Barsto.

I'd just like to bring up my previous comment about ammo quality and light strikes, since it seems even more relevant now:

James,
I agree 17 rounds is not enough. Once I get the replacement barrel, back to the range for more test firing. I am sure it is not the primer seating. These are all factory remanufactured, and I got out a magnifying glass and inspected all 150 rounds that I shot yesterday. The primers are all properly seated. I found the 17 rounds shot by the Glock including the one generating the squib. None of them were light strikes (My CZ makes a round strike, the Glock makes a elongated strike).

Thanks for the recommendation on the barrel.

But so was that squib round, right?

I got out a magnifying glass and inspected all 150 rounds that I shot yesterday. The primers are all properly seated.

FWIW: Primers need to be seated to the bottom of the pocket. I don't know how you'd inspect that visually, after the fact - unless they were really bad and were protruding from the face. If it protruded, it would probably have caused a feed stoppage.

Bar-Sto Barrels kinda pricey: I found $240. KKM is $165. KKM is more in my price range. What am I getting with the Bar-Sto that I would pay the extra $75 for?

Accuracy.

With a $75 difference, I'd probably get the KKM.

FWIW: I paid $220 for my BarSto.

I've owned and shot both KKM and Barsto (have a BarSto, gave the KKM away). The KKM shot no better than a stock Glock barrel.

Was the squib round the factory re-manufactured ammo? If so, I would see if they would repair your pistol.

I resell the ammo. He is taking the cost of a new barrel off my next invoice. I am glad it happened to me, rather than a customer.

This is what a Glock barrel looks like when you try to shoot a squib out of it...DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

I saw a Wilson barrel once that looked much worse than that one.
