Faxon
Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Barrel for G17 Gen 2-4 9mm Nitride
Faxon's Match Series Pistol Barrels for G17 / Glock® 17 are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a wider range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
The Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Barrel for Glock® G17 (Gen 2-4) is a premium drop-in upgrade that delivers match-grade accuracy with patented style and functional performance. The signature Flame Fluted® design reduces weight, enhances heat dissipation, and provides a bold aesthetic, making this barrel ideal for target shooting, competition, duty, or full-size custom builds.
