Barrel assembly for glock 19

Italian · 04-23-2012, 17:12

I have a glock model 19 9mm handgun, and I was wondering do they have a barrel assembly that will lessen the recoil. I'm shooting 9mm lugers 115 grain

possible a compensated barrel would help with the recoil. can get one the Lone Wolf, and Welcome to GT

http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.a...OD=938&CAT=236 this is what you need, its slightly longer then your standard barrel so the end off it sticks out. and the ports on the top of the barrel provides downward pressure when the gases from the chamber leave the barrel. Thus reducing recoil

Actually, just by keeping the muzzle rise down does not mean it will reduce recoil - those are 2 different directions you are talking about (up/down vs. front/back). It helps keeps the muzzle on target easier for follow-up shots but doesn't 'pull forward' to offset the rearward recoil. The slightly extended barrel will offer a little more weight up front but nothing significant enough to say it will reduce recoil.

To cut back on recoil, you really need to look at heavier bullets moving at slower velocities - most 115gr loads tend to recoil more than the subsonic 147gr loads.

Bandaids to bad shooting habits.

9mm is considered a minimal recoil caliber in the minds of serious handgun shooters.

The best recoil reduction system is more training in proper stance and grip, and just plain shooting large quantities of ammo with the proper grip and stance. Large quantity (min 500) in a single session helps (vs shooting 100, then returning in a month to shoot another 100).

You need proper guidance on how to hold the gun, and trigger control, then dry fire practice at home. Good earplugs help.

Hi. Dont waste you money.

Eat your Wheaties and stop whimping out!

Neither an extended nor a ported pistol barrel is going to do you any good. The perceived recoil reduction is going to be less than 18%; and you won't even realize that unless you're firing very fast. (Faster than most people know how to do, accurately.)

Then you've, also, got all the usual ported barrel/slide problems: Excessive muzzle flash, increased noise, night blindness, an obscured front sight, potential damage to your eyes from muzzle splatter while firing from high retention; and, of course, there's always the danger of setting your clothes on fire while firing from low retention! (Did I forget anything?)

OK, so I'm not being serious.

I am serious about the, 'whimping out' part of this reply, though. What I think is really going wrong is YOUR GRIP on the pistol. 9mm is, generally, an easy cartridge to shoot. If you're having trouble with a 9mm then the first thing that should be checked is your grip. I'll just bet it needs to be improved. Here's a couple of good, 'starter videos' for ya:

How to grip a pistol - YouTube

Todd Jarrett on pistol shooting. - YouTube

Here's the very best dissertation I've ever seen or heard on how to skillfully run a combat pistol. In my opinion the man is a genius!

(D.R. used to post here; and I often find myself wishing that he still did. The internet, gun forums, and shooters who really know what they're doing just never seem to get along.)
