If this gun is by face-shooters, for face-shooters, is there a reason the rest of us should care about it?

" this Glock 19 equipped with a KKM Precision match barrel, which is capable of 1½-inch groups at 25 yards with full-power duty ammunition found on the commercial market"

1 1/2 inch groups at 25yds?

I've got a KKM on my G34, and I'm a fan. To put in mildly I'm skeptical of the above claim

I've got gen4 Glocks that routinely turn in 1.5" groups at 25 yards with selected loads. I have no problem believing that a good match barrel with proper fitting would do better.

To understand and keep abreast of new ideas about what's possible?

Why did they not spring for the custom fitted barrels?
I remember reading that custom fitted barrels perform better than drop-in.
Is this not true any more?

We don't know that. They could have bought oversized barrels and fitted them in-house. Remember that this is a classified unit. There will always be a certain amount of distortion in any public-facing accounts of their activity.

Cool gun. Hostage rescue from concealed carry? Must be some pretty sneaky dudes.

Wow, they made a special gun for me, but I'm just hearing about it now? Maybe I missed the PM.

I need to wait long enough, that I will think it was my own idea, before trying this KKM comp thing.
