And definitely does the job at first I didn't think I would like that Barrel because it sticks out and now I like it I think I fell in love with it LOL

I am an amateur shooter and first time gun owner. My G3C had erratic low rounds every 6 or 7 shots. I was prepared to accept it was my fault until I tried a Sig P365 and had significantly better groupings. So I figured the barrel might be to blame, being a cheap gun, and tried this ported barrel. The recoil was reduced, but not exactly night and day for me- maybe 20% reduction in barrel rise? My vertical groupings improved though, from nearly 6" to more like 4.5" at 7 yards with the same ammo and field stripped/swapped cold barrels on the same range trip. I am also going to try the RSA/guide rod and will be replacing the firing pin guide and spring stopper with metal versions. Lakeline seems to have very nice machining quality and I will gladly try their other products that replace plastic pieces in my handgun. This barrel was an improvement in accuracy, at least as much as could be expected in a compact, but the porting didn't wipe out the recoil like other reviews suggested, no fault to the manufacturer. In the end I will hold onto my stock barrel just in case, but I am happy to carry this ported barrel for its nicer accuracy and marginal recoil improvements. By the way, the "stainless steel" finish is not as glossy as the pictures lead you to believe, it has the same sheen as the stock barrel which I prefer over anything flashy. It fit in my G3C with zero modifications to the barrel or slide. 9/10 would buy again.

Barrel dropped right in my G3c with no fitting or problems. Does not appear to be more accurate than the OEM barrel but it functions fine and looks good as well.
