I have a compensated LW barrel in my 19, and like it very much. I did notice the tighter chamber makes a good solid grip more important for the action to work correctly. Not a bad practice with any barrel, but the supported chamber lets you know when you are getting sloppy. The barrel fits perfectly, is accurate, and was inexpensive. It eats my reloads and any factory ammo I have tried. Whats not to like?
