Are aftermarket barrels better?

[Alan]

Aftermarket barrels don’t come cheap. For those who’ve taken the plunge, what noticeable differences did you find over the stock barrel? In hindsight, do you feel those upgrades were worth the money?

Lone Wolf barrels in Glocks allow reloaders to shoot lead bullets with less concern about "leading".

I bought a non-ported Lone Wolf extended barrel to replace the ported barrel in my ported G26.

I can't say accuracy improved significantly and in either.

I'll jump in, not sure what you wanted to know. I found my 10/22 to improve in accuracy with a green mountain sporter barrel.
