The straight fluting design of the Faxon Match Series Straight Fluted Barrel is not only visually appealing but also functional. This design helps to reduce the overall weight of the barrel, which can improve the balance and handling of your firearm. Additionally, the straight flutes help to increase the surface area of the barrel, which promotes better heat dissipation and reduces the chance of overheating.

This barrel is threaded, allowing for the easy installation of your favorite muzzle device. The standard length ensures that it will fit perfectly into your Shield/Shield Plus without any need for modification. Whether you are looking to improve your accuracy, reduce recoil, or simply want to give your Shield/Shield Plus a new look, the Faxon Match Series Straight Fluted Barrel is an excellent choice. With its precision craftsmanship and attention to detail, it is guaranteed to enhance the performance and appearance of your firearm.

Faxon's Match Series Pistol Barrels for Smith and Wesson/M&P 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.

***DISCLAIMER: Coloration will vary barrel to barrel.***
