Re: Replacement barrel
Loaded about 1200 rounds in t he past 2 years without any issues. I shot 100 rounds of this new ammo when I bought the GLOCK, and thereafter only my reloads. Never a single issue.

Re: Replacement barrel
Big T will be able to help you with the replacement barrel and the legal procedure.
If you decide to get an aftermarket (non-OEM) barrel, it will also have to be licensed. There is a procedure for barrel replacement in the FCA, but some people have had difficulty with this. A gunsmith may be able to assist you.
Should you decide to replace the whole pistol, sell or donate the damaged one to a gunshop. The shop will take it off your name. The remaining parts are worth something.

Re: Replacement barrel
T might be able to have a gunsmith roll the bulge out. You may get lucky.

Re: Replacement barrel
Sounds like a under-powered (no powder) round caused a bullet to get stuck in your barrel, and the next one hit it there, causing the bulge. The lead is likely caused by the exposed lead in the base of the stuck bullet getting squashed out be the next one on impact.
You may have a valid claim against the ammo manufacturer!
What I fail to understand is how the pistol could have cycled if the bullet has not exited. The action is recoil-operated, and there should be zero recoil if the bullet doesn't exit. All the squibs I have witnessed on the range, on locked breech pistols, ended with the case not ejecting.

Re: Replacement barrel
Usually the "barrel bushing" part of the slide gets wedged over the bulge from the front, and is then stuck there. Depends on the position of the bulge of course.
If the bulge in your barrel is sticking out the front of the slide, then it won't be possible to dismantle the gun or remove the barrel from the slide. Would be higly irregular. Can you maybe post a pic or 2?
