Just for Waders - new thread.

Yep - would assume fitment is 99.5% of the reason but do you think that there's really any difference between the aftermarket barrel makers for handguns? Probably mostly talking about 1911's here.

Lots of choices and I am not buying but I am bored and my new Brownell's catalog showed up last night, was flipping through and got to thinking - the largest percentage of "improvement" in a new barrel probably comes from the care taken in fitting it more so than the name on the hood.

A Kart fitted by competent smith is likely to do just as well as a Wilson or Bar-Sto -I'm thinking. What say you?

Does that change for a different handgun for you? Glock/Sig etc. Does it being a revolver change your answer?
