Will a 17L long barrel work in the G17 frame? Would the increase in pressure be problamatic, change in sighting, .....?
Thanks for any input

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty sure the locking block and bbl. cam are the same for both?
Will be no difference in firing compatibility as breech-face strength will be same/adequate and "L" bbl. is already built as it should be. However the mass of the 17's slide may be less and d/n recall if the "L" series had an oval cut-out in slide top with addn'l lightening within slide, similar to the pistols that "replaced them, -- 34's & 35's?
Still, probably will function OK, if not simply tune with a Wolff rod and spring or ISMI.
On the other hand, they do sell an extended OEM bbl. for the G20 but its slide has no lightening at all.
