Frequently Asked Questions

Will this barrel fit my Glock 48?

Yes. The Rival Arms Precision V1 is engineered specifically for the Glock 48. It drops in without modification and works with the factory slide and recoil spring assembly.

What's the difference between this barrel and the factory barrel?

The Precision V1 is match-grade, meaning tighter tolerances and a more precise fit in the slide. This reduces barrel tilt, improves repeatability, and typically produces tighter shot groups. The 416R stainless with PVD finish also outlasts factory steel in corrosive conditions.

No. This is a drop-in barrel. Remove the factory barrel and replace it with the Precision V1. No special tools or professional gunsmithing is required.
