Ordering More KKM Barrels

Recommended Posts

Would be interested in a 10mm KKM converson barrel.

 

I want to make a G21 shoot 10mm...........Is this all i need? Maybe change the spring too .

 

Or can a stock 10mm barrel do ok.

 

I saw a post on GlockTalk that they are the same size.

 

Just got the gun friday with a GSSF membership from BH.

Frank,

 

I see they have CZ listed on their site, any CZ/clone barrels?

 

will these handle +p+ loads?

 

 

I'll ask about the CZ barrels.

 

The question I ask is "Can you handle +P+?"

 

But really +P+ or Israeli Black Tip is not a SAAMI round. But you know that.

There are several reliability issues associated with making a G21 shoot 10mm. They won't affect you having fun at the range but they are enough to make me think twice about using it as a SHTF gun. First of all, the breechface is larger on the 45ACP slide. That means there is a lot of slop room for the 10mm rim as it slides up the face under the extractor. The 45ACP extractor is intended for a shell that has a larger circumference. The ejector is different for the 45ACP than the 10mm. Again, it should function OK, but all of these little differences add up to a reduction in reliability.

The slide on the 45ACP is a good deal lighter than the slide for the 10mm, so a stiffer recoil spring would be called for if you will be shooting anything other than mild 10mm factory loads. I recommend Double Tap and Swamp Fox. They make true fire-breathing 10mm ammo, the way NORMA intended. :)

All of this said, I have read very good things about the Lone Wolf G21-->10mm conversion barrel. If KKM makes an equivalent barrel, their reputation is even better than Lone Wolf so I wouldn't hesitate. All you need is this barrel and a G20 mag and you are set. If you really get serious about 10mm, you can get a full Glock 20 upper from Glockmeister.com. That is a few hundrted dollars though.

Glockmeister was out of G20 uppers. will try again soon........

The KKM conversion barrel has a good reputation in reviews , although with a steep feed-ramp........and there is the extractor bug too.

I`ll probably just get an upper when they have it in stock...

 

Thanks for the info.

Lunker G21SF 10mm conversion

 

But not well enough to get the correct barrel. :icon_e_biggrin:

Frank, I need the extended G29 barrel (about an an inch longer than the stock one). I know they make it, but it's not on the website. Thanks Buddy.

That's perfect. Without any specs on that KKM page, I assumed it was a stock length barrel.

Thanks Frank.
