RE: Barsto Barrel Choice

[doc540]

Looking on the Barsto site, they off a semi-drop in, 9mm barrel, but they offer different ramp options. There's nothing in the FAQ about that.

If I was just replacing the barrel in my 1978 9mm Combat Commander, what would determine the ramp option choice?

options:
no ramp
Para/Clark
Wilson/Nowlin
Bar-sto

A standard barrel would be considered "no ramp". The other options are for barrels that contain an integral ramp. Using an integral ramp requires cutting away the frame ramp in order to fit the barrel.

The barrel pictured in this link has an integral ramp - Bar-Sto Precision Machine

I like Kart barrels better.

Brownell's has SOME of them. Gil Hebard has others.

i put a barsto barrel in my .38super combat commander, easy install, and accuracy improved greatly.
