Backup Tactical Threaded Barrel for Sig P320 Full-Size Pistols: A Review
As a gun enthusiast, I was excited to get my hands on the Backup Tactical Threaded Barrel for my Sig P320 full-size pistol. In this review, I’ll share my experience with this product, highlighting its pros and cons, and provide an in-depth look at its performance.
Unboxing and Installation
The barrel arrived in a compact, unassuming package that belied its contents. Inside, I found the barrel, wrapped in a soft, foam-lined carrying case, along with a set of instructions and a Allen wrench. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the provided instructions and the sleek, thread-locking design of the barrel.
Performance
Now, let’s dive into the good stuff – the performance of the barrel. This thing shoots! From the moment I installed it, I noticed an improvement in accuracy and reliability. The threaded design made it easy to attach a suppressor, and the crisp, clean trigger pull made it a joy to shoot.
Here are some specific experiences I’ve had with the barrel:
- Target shooting: I fired a 50-round string of Hornady Critical Duty 124-grain TMJ, without a single malfunction or jam. The accuracy was outstanding, with groups consistently under 1.5 inches at 15 yards.
- Home defense: In a dimly lit room, the barrel’s contrast sights made quick work of targets. The reduced recoil and increased controllability made defensive shooting a breeze.
- Suppressed shooting: With a suppressor attached, the barrel produced a surprisingly quiet report, thanks to the threaded design. The reduced noise level made me feel more comfortable during extended shooting sessions.
Pros and Cons
Here’s a summary of my experience with the Backup Tactical Threaded Barrel:
Pros:
• Improved accuracy: The barrel consistently shot tighter groups than my factory barrel.
• Easy installation: The instructions were clear, and the design made installation a snap.
• Threaded design: The design made it simple to attach a suppressor or other accessories.
• Reduced recoil: The barrel’s design and material reduced the perceived recoil energy by about 20%.
• Quiet shooting (with suppressor attached): The reduced noise level made for a more comfortable shooting experience.
Cons:
• Weight: The barrel added about 6 ounces to my overall pistol weight, which can be noticeable for extended shooting sessions.
• Aesthetics: The barrel’s matte surface finish didn’t quite match the glossy finish of my original pistol.
Conclusion
The Backup Tactical Threaded Barrel has become my go-to choice for my Sig P320 full-size pistol. Its improved accuracy, easy installation, and reduced recoil make it an excellent upgrade for anyone looking to take their shooting experience to the next level. While it may not be perfect, the pros far outweigh the cons, and I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance upgrade.
Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with the Backup Tactical Threaded Barrel, and I think you will be too!
