pistol rifling

[ridetoslide]

Does anyone have a list of what rifling pistol manufacturers use? For instance Glock uses polygonal, Ruger uses regular rifling etc. Thanks!

And i can tell you that Kahr uses both.... don't know of a specific list although it's a great idea.

Relatively few manufacturers use polygonal rifling...

I know that doesn't help, but chances are very very good that if it's not a Glock or H&K that it has traditional rifling. One big exception, as noted above, is Kahr which uses polygonal rifling in their expensive pistols, and conventional in their "budget" lines.

The Wikipedia page for rifling lists CZ, Heckler and Koch, Glock, ...etc. It's Not a chart, but it may help you. Rifling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But then again, it is Wikipedia.

The wikipedia article was interesting. I'm looking into my next 9mm aquisition and wanted to stick with the traditional rifling instead of the polygonal style. But, a couple of the nines I'm considering are the cz 75 and the baby desery eagle. I want traditional rifling since I reload and like shooting lead projectiles. So, gotta put some more thought into this.

The CZ-75 has traditional rifling.

As far as the Baby Eagle / Jericho 941... it all depends on the age of the pistol.

Some may have traditional rifling, some may have polygonal.

That is nice to know about the cz 75. Are the older or newer baby eagles polygonal rifled? Or mix and matched?
