6-7 years ago I bought a Lew Horton gen 4 Glock 19 at the local farm store, it was cerakoted OD green before those were available directly from Glock, has adjustable sights ect.
Nice gun, I put an aftermarket trigger, oversize magazine release, upgraded recoil spring and beveled magazine well. Probably more money that one should spend on a plastic pistol but it's my EDC gun and I like it. The gun functions flawlessly with factory ammunition of any flavor and it's surprisingly accurate.
Here's where things go south, I bought a Silencerco Osprey for it and a threaded Lone Wolf barrel. It was supposed to be a drop in barrel but it's given me trouble with functioning with and without the suppressor from day one. What's odd is it functions perfectly with Gary's gen 2 19, not having any idea how to fit a barrel and being generally distrustful of so called "gunsmiths" these days I've never taken it anywhere to have it looked at.
Early this spring I loaded a bunch of cast and plated bullets in 9mm, took the gun out and shot it a bit and it's a jamming *** with the LW aftermarket barrel {conventional rifling}.
Fast forward to last week and I see Swenson Gock 19 barrels are for sale on Midway, 65.00, for that much I figure it's worth a try.
I get ready to take the pictures for this post and notice there's a good bit of peening on one of the lower surfaces of the Lone Wolf barrel, interesting.
Here's a picture of the barrels, oem Glock barrel on top, middle is the Lone Wolf and lower is the new Swenson barrel.
Anyone here had a Swenson barrel?
