Instructor Training Safety Barrel

Description

Check out our new Rifle Training Safety Block. It’s the patrol rifle mate to our Instructor Training Safety Barrel. 

We needed an instructor/safety/training barrel for classroom and inert environment use but designed in such a way that no live rounds could possibly be introduced into the weapon. We couldn’t find the desired product anywhere so we decided to create it.

There are some other training/safety barrels available, but they don’t have full slide functionality or have a restriction on the number of times you can release the slide from slide lock before they’ll break. Our barrels have no such limitations.

You can teach fundamentals with a blue or inert gun, but you can’t properly teach trigger control/manipulation, reloads with retention, or combat/slide lock reloads with a blue gun. Plus, there are times when the ability to train with the actual firearm in an inert environment is a huge benefit, such as new RDS shooters experiencing and understanding “dot wash” in low light conditions.

We have thousands of these barrels currently in use by basic mandate academies and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies across North America.

The perfect training aid for CCW instructors; Military/LE agency and academy firearms instructors and students; great for teaching fundamentals in a classroom environment; building clearing/shoothouse training; competitive shooters; dry fire training. Basically, anytime a visual inert firearm/safety indication is beneficial.

The feed ramp and chamber area of the barrel is solid to eliminate any possibility of live ammunition from being inserted into the inert barrel.

Models available to fit 3.1″ barrel Sig P365, P365X, Optic Ready, XMacro Comp, AXG Legion, 3.7″ barrel P365XL, XMacro, XMacro Tacops, Glock Gen 3/4 or Gen 5 models 19/23, 17/22/31/34, 43/43X, 45, 47, and 48. The Sig barrels will not fit the 9mm P365-FUSE or any .380 caliber P365.

The Glock 43/43X/48 and Sig P365/365XL barrels are solid at the muzzle end. All other barrel models have the muzzle end is drilled for use with retention holsters or holsters that have a muzzle plug that goes in the end of the barrel to secure the weapon in the holster.

The barrel has a small amount of extra length on the end by design. This allows everyone seeing the gun from the side to know that the inert barrel is in the gun and therefore safe.  The extra length can be cut off with a saw or cutoff wheel if it isn’t desired or isn’t compatible with the holster you’re using.

Available in the same bright safety orange or yellow as our Instructor Training Safety Mags and Rifle Training Safety Blocks which allows you to standardize colors on all your inert safety devices for enhanced visual confirmation.

Each barrel is individually fit and tested before shipment and guaranteed for life to the original purchaser.

Customization is available such as other color choices.

Discounts available for quantity or departmental purchases.

The Gen 3/4 and Gen 5 17/22/31/34/35 barrels are not interchangeable due to the different barrel lug and recoil spring assembly dimensions on the Gen 5 barrel compared to earlier generations. The Glock 19 barrel works on generations 3, 4, and 5. 

For the Glock models, we offer a complete Instructor Training Safety Barrel Kit which pairs our inert barrel with base pads and dummy rounds.

Note: there is a rough spot on either the left side or chamber end of the barrel.  It’s simply a byproduct from where the barrel rests on the printer bed during printing. This does not affect function and is unseen when the barrel is installed in the gun.

If your inert training includes holster work, we recommend pairing the Instructor Training Safety Barrel with our Instructor Training Safety Mag. This is an additional visual indicator of inert status since the safety barrel is not visible when the pistol is in a holster that covers the ejection port area.

 

Plano 3700 or Anvil plastic boxes work great for storing factory barrels during inert training. The shooter’s name can be written on painter’s tape applied to the factory barrel to ensure the correct barrel is re-installed after inert training is completed.
