Ported Barrel for G21SF

[Cameron72]

I'm considering putting on a two or four port barrel on my Glock 21SF. I have three years experience with this handgun. I also have 10+ years experience with a S&W 629 3" barrel with four Mag-na-port ports so I'm familiar with the blast/concussion/flash.
I'm looking at a Lone Wolf, 2 or 4 port
Any advice/stories from the group??

I had two G21s at one time, one of them had a 'hybrid' comp, like Scheumann sells.

The other was bone stock.

everyone who shot them commented that the hybrid port worked well, albeit loud.

Thanks man!

The problem with the version I had was that they were a copy of the scheumann is that they had to cut a slot in the top of the slide. This means that if you want to use any other kind of barrel (like a threaded barrel for a suppressor), you have to get a new slide too.

I have a 460V with a comp at the end of the barrel:



It does a good job with recoil and even muzzle rise, the ports on top of a handgun are more for muzzle rise than recoil. So it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For the .45 ACP in a Glock I think muzzle rise control is more important than recoil control, especially if your goal is fast shots. There are comps that go on the end of a barrel, and are directed upwards.

There are also variations of the Sheumann type comp that don't require cutting a long slot in the barrel, just holes that match the holes in the barrel.

The Lone Wolf barrel I'm looking at is slightly longer than stock with four ports. A comp would be better with more weight but I'm going to start simple. Thanks!

I ordered one.
