Fitting a 4" bull barrel

rc · February 14, 2022, 04:03 PM

Well, I've been wanting a 9mm barrel to add to my 38 super Kimber HD to make it a reliable dual caliber gun. Custom barrels are normally over $200. I just found a no name 4" bull barrel for $80. This one has a little different barrel profile compared with the Kimber but says it will work with any 4" gun.

Hoping it will actually drop in ok. Any advice when checking fit would be appreciated. I understand there can be some binding points on the bull barrels.
