Description

Now available for the 3.1″ barrel Sig P365, P365X, Optic Ready, XMacro Comp, AXG Legion and 3.7″ barrel P365XL, XMacro, and XMacro Tacops 9mm pistols. These do not fit the 9mm P365-FUSE or any .380 caliber P365.

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

There are some other training/safety barrels on the market but they have a restriction on the number of times you can drop the slide on them from slide lock before they’ll break. Our barrels have no such limitation. Each barrel is individually fit and tested before shipment and guaranteed for life to the original purchaser.

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 is a huge benefit.

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. Great for new RDS shooters to understand and experience “dot wash” in a low light environment using their own firearm, but in a completely safe condition.

Models available to fit Sig P365, P365X, Optic Ready, XMacro Comp, AXG Legion, P365XL, XMacro, XMacro Tacops, Glock Gen 3/4 or Gen 5 models 19/23, 17/22/31/34, 43/43X, 45, 47, and 48. Available in bright safety orange or yellow.

All models except the Glock 43/43X and 48 have the muzzle end is drilled for use with retention holsters or other holsters that have a muzzle plug that goes in the end of the barrel. 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. The feed ramp and chamber area of the barrel is solid. We thought about cutting a chamber hole there for dummy rounds, but decided this could possibly allow live ammunition to be inserted by mistake, so we left that area solid for safety reasons.

Contact us for quantity or departmental purchases. If needed numbers are not available, let us know as we print barrels in-house and can turn them around quickly.

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 safety kit which includes the barrel, orange base plates, and 4 orange 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.

Additional Usage Tips:

If training includes holster work, we recommend putting electrical tape the same color as the instructor/training barrel on the pistol grip. This is an additional visual indicator of inert status as the instructor/training barrel is not visible when the pistol is in the holster.

   

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.
