LWD barrels are built top SAAMI specs and certainly NOT an exact replica a Glock barrel. That goes for the rifling as well.
Consequently, I'll bet your reloads are not SAAMI spec. Although the plunk test is fine I still recommend buying a cartridge gage to make sure your ammo is spec. I have 3 LWD barrels and ALL have MORE chamber support than OEM Glock barrels and they lock up tighter as well. Glock barrels are relatively loose compared to LWD barrels.
Exactly. Both of my LWD barrels chamber properly dimensioned reloads. People typically blame the barrel rather than correcting the problems with their reloads, have better chamber support, are accurate and reliable.
