Can't say anything about Bar Sto, other than they seem to have a good rep; they weren't cheap the last time I looked ( long ago ). Had a Wolf for a G36, I almost always shoot cast. Got it quick, sent it back to be fixed, that wasn't quick to return. The chamber / lands were not cut correctly and would not allow a properly loaded cartridge to seat / headspace as expected. The only time I shot a blockage out of the barrel ( wasn't on purpose ) was with this barrel. Got a bulge, would no longer cycle thru the barrel hole in the slide face. Ended up selling the gun ( with the original barrel ) not long after for other reasons. Still have the barrel to remind me I didn't recognize the squib. Squib was not their fault, bad chamber / lands cut was.
Should I need another land / groove barrel for a Glock, my choice will be the KKM. Reasonable price, I have one for my 21 and my 17, been using the 21 barrel for at least 10 years, no problems. The 17 barrel is only two years old, working fine too after several thousand rounds. YMMV.
