| Conclusion: I
think it is pretty clear at this point... Bullet jump reduction is
a valid avenue toward increased accuracy in the Glock Model 22, and I
see no reason why the concept would not be equally effective in other
Glock models and indeed in any semi automatic pistol which begins life
with an excessively large free-bore specification.
The prototype barrel is more accurate.
It's safe at the maximum recommended VV N340 powder charge. It functions
reliably (even with an OAL in excess of the SAAMI spec of 1.135"
for the 40 S&W).
So where do we go from here? That's a big
question. Hopefully, these results will convince some of the better
barrel manufacturers to consider incorporating reduced free bore
specifications in their designs. I will make myself available to any
interested manufacturers to this end. Simply contact me by email
to discuss applying this concept to your specific base design.
But why stop here?
Whether you are a
pistol/barrel manufacturer, a competitive shooter, or (like me) simply
want to make your weapon as accurate as reasonably possible, you may be
interested in learning about the other projects I have on the board.
Remember the goal:
Build a Glock that is
radically more accurate than stock, doesn't sacrifice any of its
legendary reliability, and can be had by the average shooting enthusiast
without retaining a master gunsmith or enduring months long waiting
lists.

I am in various stages of
planning on at least four other barrel-specific accuracy enhancements that
are aimed at furthering the above-stated goal. In addition, I have another
list of related engineering and design enhancements that offer significant
promise.
There are a few possible
stumbling blocks though... Money, materials, and facilities.
So far, I am into this project
to the tune of some $700.00 in direct costs plus a bunch of indirect costs
and mountains of time. As WalterGA
pointed out, I cannot patent this idea (and wouldn't want to). While I am
very happy to provide the fruits of my efforts to the community-at-large,
I cannot continue to foot the entire R&D bill alone.
If I am to continue these
types of R&D activities, I'm going to have to have some help. Please
take a moment to click through the following link to see if you might be
able to participate in furthering the quest!
I hope you have found this
article interesting, informative, and helpful. Be safe and "Happy
shooting!" 
Can
I help?
No and then !!
