yep they do not use a normal lands and grooves as said its polygonal

Since no one has said it yet I will, "Do not Shoot Lead Through That Barrel!" The polygonal rifling is a great system and often leads to better accuracy and muzzle velocity but it does not play well with lead. Stick with fmj or jhp and you will be fine.

I have replaced every Glock barrel I have with conventional rifling and have not regreted it at all. Steve48

What did you do with the old barrels? I don't shoot lead so I'll take 'em.

kkm and efk makes good after market barrel for the glocks. they are a must if you want to shoot cast lead. if it is a .40 cal then you will need a after market barrel to shoot reloads,, cast and/or fmj bullets. the glock .40 barrels do not give full cast support. kkm and efk .40 cal glock barrels give full cast support.

A little more care has to be taken but if your shooting FMJ reloads, you do NOT need to have an aftermarket barrel. If that was the case, I know whole bunch of people that would have KB'd their Glock .40s many times over, me included. Fact is, I don't know anyone personally that has.
I can't even pronounce "polygonal"!
