What is the difference between drop-in and oversize?
answer:
A drop-in barrel can typically be installed by the user with little to no fitting. Glock part tolerances are generally held quite well, and as a result will almost always allow for an easy drop-in. Some firearm tolerances are not held as well. As a result, the barrels we sell for these models must be designated as semi drop-in barrel and may occasionally require the aid of a gunsmith. All drop-in and semi drop-in Storm Lake Barrels are manufactured with the intent to provide the closest tolerance lock up for best accuracy while allowing for the least amount of required fitting. If your purchased barrel does not drop in, we recommend that you take the product to an experienced gunsmith to fit it. Please note that we cannot accept returns on barrels which have been modified.

“Probably the best on the market! Familiar with them for the past 15+ years, great folks, exceptional quality control and a good value.”

“I just want to complement you on a fine product, I purchased a 9mm barrel for a glock 35. Fit and finish were outstanding. Best of all, accuracy was beyond expectation for the price. I wil recommend and continue to use your fine products.”

"I have used Storm Lake Barrels to win twenty three tournaments in the last four years. I have found them to provide the accuracy and reliability to compete at the highest level in USPSA, IDPA and 3-gun events..."
Tom Carpenter, 2003 IDPA Southern Regional ESP Champion.
“I bought a compensated version for a Glock 23. The difference in recoil is amazing. I've put about 1,000 rounds through it without a failure to feed or eject with any ammo. The accuracy is much better than the factory barrel. It is always in the black on a standard 45' bullseye target. The value for the money is great as well. There isn't much reason to spend more.”

“They are very interested in their customers and work hard to see that they meet their needs. They have been very easy to communicate with and they back their products, providing very good service. I have a couple Storm Lake barrels, and I wish I had started using them some time ago as I am impressed with their workmanship. They have been excellent shooters and I do shoot lead. I got into them in the first place because I only want cut rifled barrels, not button or EDM and I intended to shoot lead and copper. If you’re going to drive lead bullets hard, then seriously consider the broach cut barrels like Storm Lake. Higher price do not necessarily buy you a better barrel. Many shooters pay more and believe they are buying more, but that is not always the case in the market today where there is serious competition and more barrel makers than ever before These have been some of THE most accurate barrels I have owned, lead or copper. “
