Its knurled surface isn’t sharp, but does provide more than enough texture for easy removal.Īlpha Wolf barrels are heat treated to the RC 40-42 standard before being coated in a premium Salt Bath Nitride (SBN). The included thread protector is a great match for the barrel and snugs onto the threads without any sloppiness. Furthermore, the barrel’s finish thinly coats the threads without harboring any residual material in its crevices. Lone Wolf’s 9/16×24 threading at the muzzle is also very clean and crisp. And, of course, it looks cool.Īn unintended - but welcome - consequence of dropping the Alpha Wolf barrel into a “C” model G20 is that the fluting matches up surprisingly well with the cuts in the slide, creating a neat aesthetic. This fluting helps slightly reduce the barrel’s weight and provides more surface area for heat dispersion. Just forward of the chamber, however, the barrel begins to make its departures from the factory look with eight cuts of fluting running the majority of the length of the bore. The Alpha Wolf M/20 barrel is compatible with all generations of GLOCK 20. It is cleanly and crisply machined and evenly finished. Out of the box, the 10mm barrel looks and feels great. In short, it’s designed to perform well with a multitude of ammunition types and brands. It also works with absolute accuracy and combat reliability with self-defense loads too. The ability to do these activities quietly can be a big plus.Īnd the fact that the Alpha Wolf barrel is prominently rated for jacketed ammunition as well as cast lead and plated ammunition helps alleviate any worries when shooting typical sporting and target cartridges. To begin with, I’m in the camp that believes the 10mm cartridge is great not only for defensive purposes, but also for hunting and plinking. Based on price, recommendations, and availability I quickly decided to give Lone Wolf Distributors’ Alpha Wolf fluted barrel for M/20 (10mm) a try.
