Faxon Match Series Straight Fluted Barrel for G48 9mm Nitride
Faxon’s Match Series pistol barrels for Glock® G48 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 Straight Fluted Barrel for Glock® G48 delivers premium match-grade accuracy and lightweight performance in a slimline drop-in upgrade. Featuring a clean straight fluted design for reduced weight and improved heat dissipation, along with a durable salt bath nitride finish inside and out, this barrel is ideal for concealed carry, competition, duty, or custom slimline builds where reliability and precision are paramount.
