FAQ
Will this fit my .40 caliber Glock barrel?
No. Standard .40 cal barrels typically use a .578×28 thread pitch. This protector is specifically for the 1/2×28 thread common on 9mm and .357SIG barrels.
Is thread locker needed to keep it from loosening?
For range use, it typically stays put hand-tight. For heavy firing schedules, a small amount of low-strength thread locker (like Vibra-TITE) can be used, but it’s not usually necessary for this type of Glock part.
