FAXON MATCH SERIES FLUTED THREADED BARREL FOR G48 9MM
FaxonFaxon Match Series Straight Fluted Threaded 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 Threaded Barrel for Glock® G48 combines match-grade precision, lightweight design, and suppressor-ready versatility in a slimline drop-in upgrade. Featuring a clean straight fluted profile for reduced weight and improved heat dissipation, a threaded muzzle for compensators or suppressors, and 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 performance are essential.

A threaded barrel!!
First thing to be notice was how much lighter this barrel is than factory, to be expected. Nice dark finish and shot well. I ran a 100 rounds of Fiocchi 115gr hard ball at 1200fps and it ran fine. This g48 is my carry but it may get more upgrades going forwad. Well it went bag!! Also the people at Faxon are great, Thanks all.
