I recently bought a Silencerco barrel for my glock 17, and I have had nothing but trouble since then. When I fire my pistol (suppressed or unsuppressed) ejection and the cycling is strong. But the gun hangs up when feeding a new round. The bullet tips will stick on the feedramp... this happens with both hollowpoints and ball.
To experiment, I fired off a mag and my gun was basically single-shot. Then, after changing nothing else, I put a dab of lube right on the feedramp. I fired off the next mag with no malfunctions whatsoever. This tells me that the feedramp on this barrel is either defective, or poorly designed. I have to constantly keep that feedramp lubed up to get reliable function out of my g17.
After comparing the silencerco barrel to my factory one, I have noticed that the sico ramp is both steeper and shorter than factory. I'm wondering if I should send the barrel back? Or maybe just buy a different brand...your thoughts?
Thanks
anyone else have problems with SiCo threaded barrels?

You could always try polishing the feed ramp. If lube works then polishing it may also work more permanently.

Personally I would call them and explain the situation. They will handle it. There is no way I would Jack with it. It's the principle of the thing here.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
