Hmm, I am glad when I somehow ran into a pile of cash once, I went Lifetime member.

Not that that ever stops them from sending me letters begging me for more.

All you have to do is contact them ask them not to. They won't. I did that 15 years ago. I don't hear squat from them except the magazine. I send them some monies when I feel like it. OH, and all Life Members in this household.

I don't know what the factory Glock tolerances are... but my guess it's a "CYA" thing for some reason.

I was/am pretty sure if the other manufacturers say it's OK.. why wouldn't theirs? I am also pretty sure they know the other manufacturers answer...

No doubt, it's a CYA. KKM said the same thing a while ago. Then, someone at KKM actually tried one, and gave it the okie-dokie. You may be surprised what they don't know. I'm not a fan of SL barrels, in any case, so it's all chatter to me.

I am no fanboy of SL either, it's what I could find, years ago, when I needed it. That said, in my 20, it's been flawless. I cut the living crap out of my trigger finger a couple weeks ago, it's just about to the point where I can grip well and feel with it, so hopefully in the next couple days, I can go find out if it's going to blow up or not.. LOL.

Found this thread trying to research using my G20 barrel in my new G40..

My barrel is a Storm Lake.. This is my question and their email reply:

Hello,

I have a 6.02 barrel that I have used in my G20 for hunting. I have recently purchased a G40, and near as I can tell, the factory barrel and your G20 barrel are dimensionally identical. It seems to fit fine and the slide functions properly etc.. I have not shot it yet, but wanted to see if you guys might have any concerns I have not thought of..?

Thanks.

Mr. Smith,

You can test it if you want. It won't be dangerous if it goes into battery.  I would guess that it won't fit great though.  There is a .0010" difference on several critical dimensions of the two barrels, so we do not recommend using that barrel, or any of our barrels, in the Glock 40.
