KKM barrel

Goetztalon · June 02 2018 03:41:22 PM MDT

Ordered a six inch kkm barrel for the Glock 20 yesterday. Now I will be legal for Ohio's five inch minimum barrel length to use a hand gun for deer. Anybody have any opinion s on the kkm? Did some online research and it seems to be a decent barrel.

I have a KKM in my Dan Wesson and it will do less than one inch groups at 50 yards (from a ransom rest.) Enjoy your new barrel.

Hey Goetztalon,
I picked up a factory length KKM barrel for my gen 4 G20 and really like it. Not only can I shoot cast, I also find that it is more accurate than the factory barrel. I know several people that went with Lonewolf, and have not had any issues, yet when researching them prior to buying, many complained about issues with LW, so I just went with KKM. There are others that are substantially more expensive, but didn't feel the need to spend that much

That was my findings as well kenk. And as you I looked at the higher end stuff. Plus it looked like the more expensive barrels needed to be fitted. Can't wait to shoot my handloads through it!

You will like it I'm sure, plus they look pretty sharp too, Enjoy!!!

They are good barrels. Put one in my G40 a couple months ago. Better velocity and accuracy. You made a good choice.

Great feedback! Thanks guys!!!

If I'm not mistaken, the 6" should translate into an increased velocity of aprx 100 FPS, give or take

I use a 6 inch KKM in my G40. Swapped the barrel from my G20 when I sold it to a co-worker. It's accurate and easy to clean. The chamber is cut so it will not accept bullets sized at .402 or larger. KKM will "fix" that if you want to shoot lead bullets sized .402 or larger.

Kenk · June 03 2018 08:23:16 AM MDT

Any idea what they charge to do that?, or is that a complementary service?

Goetztalon · June 03 2018 12:29:49 PM MDT

That's good to know! Thanks!!!

Yabetcha, you really like it!

I don't know if KKM does it for free or not. Another poster who frequents GlockTalk and this forum NickE10mm had his done by KKM to accomodate the .402 sized Montana Bullet Works WFNPB bullets.

Thanks, not likely something I would really need I guess

I use a 6" threaded kkm for my glock 20, hunting and woods defense. We live in Ouachita Mountains, 60 acres all sides surrounded by National Forest. I have found you get occasional jams with the 200 - 220 cast slugs. Running them through a sizer helps, but not 100%. I'm talking 1 or 2 in 50 will not feed completely. Usually you can palm the back of the slide and it will seat. The problem usually starts after 20 or so shots and progresses. My guess is the chamber is tight and probably gets some lube or lead build up as the shot count rises. Not frequent, but not what I want for woods defense! Now I use Lehigh Xtreme Penetrator slugs over Longshot powder getting 700 fpe for bear defense. Whistles through level 3 vest, right through bullet proof glass, but still disrupts tissue. It and all jacketed or plated bullets are 100% reliable in the kkm.
