Bulged barrel (non reload)
I’ll try to keep this short and sweet. I’ve been shooting a lot in the last 6 months (21,000 rounds) and yesterday I had a squib that I did not hear/detect so I immediate action drilled into a subsequent shot resulting in a barrel bulge. Luckily it did not explode. Now the question is what barrel do I get as a replacement?
Info:
Glock 34 Gen 4
This is my carry firearm with surefire X300u in a sidecar TREX ARMS AIWB holster.
I intend to continue using this as a CCW pistol and practice primarily with 115gr S&B, Whinchester and Remington ammo. Prices usually 169.99-189.99 for 1k. Reason for ammo selection is price.
Finally the price for an OEM and a KKM are roughly 10 dollars difference. 165 to 175 excluding tax.
Anyone CCW a KKM or know how it would work with ammo listed above. Reliability is primarily what I want.
