Description
This is the copper PVD version of the Ballistic Advantage threaded barrel for the Glock 19 Gen 3, 4, and 5. It is the same drop-in, non-fluted barrel as the black version with a 1/2×28 muzzle for a suppressor or compensator, and Ballistic Advantage states it is tested in complete factory pistols with no break-in required. No fitting is needed.
Ballistic Advantage machines it from hardened 416R stainless steel with a one in ten button-rifled twist, a honed and lapped bore, and a SAAMI spec chamber, then applies a copper-colored PVD coating over the QPQ treated steel. PVD is a thin decorative coating, so expect it to wear at the hood and lugs sooner than a plain nitride barrel; the color is the reason to buy this over the black one. Ballistic Advantage lists a standard thread protector in the box.
Fitment: Ballistic Advantage lists it for the Glock 19 Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5. The 19X and 45 use the same Gen 5 G19 slide and barrel length, so this is the barrel size those guns take, though Ballistic Advantage does not name them on its page. It will not fit the G17, G26, G43X, or G48, and fit in aftermarket slides is not guaranteed.
Pairs with: Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator (Glock 19 Gen 5, 9mm, Guide Rod Mount, Black); Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator (Glock 19 Gen 3, 9mm, Guide Rod Mount, Black); Faxon EXOS-553 Compensator (Glock 17, 19, 34 Gen 5, 9mm, 1/2×28, Black); Faxon EXOS-513 Compensator (Glock 17, 19, 34 Gen 3 and FX-19, 9mm, 1/2×28, Black).

Who it’s for
G19, 19X, and 45 shooters who want a copper barrel visible through a slide window along with a threaded muzzle, most often on Limited Optics, Open, PCSL, or Tactical Games guns where a comp is legal.
Who should skip it
If you do not care about the color, the black QPQ version of this barrel costs less and hides wear. If you want a match barrel with fluting, the Faxon Match Series flame fluted G19 barrel is the better pick. Gen 1 and Gen 2 G19 owners should look at the True Precision G19 barrel instead. USPSA Production and Carry Optics do not allow a threaded barrel with a device attached.
