For shooting ball ammo? No.
PSA has some good deals and the FN barrels seem to be pretty good from reviews but I have no experience with them. If they made a pencil barrel at 16" I would change that, I don't like 14.5" barrels simply because they are a PIA to change up not to mention the loss in velocity. If one didn't change things around like I'm prone to do then it would be ok.
