![]() ![]() They do get cleared eventually, but with a lot of effort, and considerable delays in your shooting time. The best way I found was to hold the slide with one hand, and then slap your other hand into the frame. At this point, the slide is LOCKED, it won’t move forward, or backward, and requiring strong manipulation to unlock. What happens is that the slide fails to fall into battery when chambering a round, with the slide being stopped about a quarter an inch from the tip of the barrel. Both have one thing in common, and that is they consistently have Failure To Feed (FTF) problems on both of my Glocks when using reloaded ammo. I bought them not necessarily because I wanted to shoot reloads on them (thankfully), but because they are threaded, and I wanted to use compensators on my guns. I own two Lone Wolf barrels, one for my Glock 23, and another for my Glock 22. This turns out to be not 100% true, as we shall see later. Since most, if not all reloads use lead bullets, then people assume that you can use Lone Wolf barrels with reloads. Because of this, it is safer to use with lead bullets. The aftermarket Lone Wolf barrels, on the other hand, are made with conventional rifling, and thus will accummulate fouling at a slower rate. This is the reason why Glock in their manual specify that lead bullets NOT be used using the stock or factory barrel. Unfortunately, such rifling tends to build up more deposits in the barrel at a faster rate, which, if the build up is sufficient enough, could cause certain types of catasthropic failures during firing in one form, or the other. Glock pistols come from the factory with its own patented type of “Polygonal Rifling”, which they claim lessen friction between the barrel and the bullet, thus increasing the velocity of the bullet as it leaves the barrel. If you look around the local internet firearms forums or local sales/auction sites, you will notice that most of them recommend the use of these barrels so you can shoot reloads on Glock pistols. I own samples of these barrels, and I want to share what I found about them based on my personal shooting experience with them. I decided to write a long piece about Lone Wolf Distributors’ (LWD) barrels for Glock, when I noticed that wrong information about these barrels are still prevalent.
