So, you own a Glock handgun like the bulk of the shooting community for innumerable reasons. Some of them are the robust aftermarket components that are available (especially from Tyrant Designs) as well as Glock handguns being touted as supremely reliable and a highly-configurable platform. With that comes the ability to change components at will. This can vary from frame pins to barrels; all of which Tyrant Designs makes premium upgrades for. What are some of the reasons that you would want to even bother changing your factory barrel though? Let’s walk through those to see if the recently unveiled Tyrant Designs barrel is for you!
The very first thing that will catch your eye about our premium barrels is the curb appeal. So, how much does this matter? To be completely honest, quite a bit. I have had the whole “curb appeal” debate with countless friends when it comes to upgrading components on firearms, and this is the lens I view that conversation through… “Nobody wants a highly-accurate gun that is ugly just like no one wants an ugly muscle car.” That makes sense, right? You shouldn’t sacrifice performance for looks, but if you can have both, why not? The other big element of upgrading components is performance. Our barrels will give you greater reliability and consistency in chambering rounds. It will also ensure spent rounds are being extracted and ejected without a sliver of doubt.
The fitment to the slide will also guarantee a more secure lockup into the battery every time. Another glaringly obvious reason to upgrade to our barrel is the greater accuracy. We have imparted a deep crowning to our barrels – that is not present on factory barrels – that will increase velocity and bullet stability upon exit of the barrel. Finally, you may want to look at upgrading your factory barrel to one of ours if you have a damaged barrel or one that has deteriorated in quality over time. This could be a valid safety concern after an accident – your gun falls down the side of a mountain while hiking or it fell out while changing the oil in your vehicle and you subsequently ran it over.
Whatever the reason might be, if you fear your barrel is compromised, you should replace it out of an abundance of caution for your own safety. So, there you have it! Improve the curb appeal of your Glock and be the envy of your friends, simultaneously improve its performance, and/or ensure your gun is at its tip-top safest quality for carrying.
