If Anyone wants a 40 cal Encore barrel that is extremely accurate you need to call Jeff Hankins before these are gone . They are extremely accurate and fit and finish are out standing. Oh and did I say they are accurate. Wow

With Jeff's new muzzle brake it is very mild. I was very surprised. with 61 grs you could feel it a little more but the encore shot the best groups at 58.5 grns. I was using the wool wads under the 225 Aeromax and the tightest groups were from the 58.5 load and still moving around the 2800 fps mark. I have a adjustable hinge pin to install yet and a trigger job and I truly believe I can put them in the same hole. The Aeromax performed extremely well and I believe you just can't beat the Hankins/Pittman combination.

I forgot to mention that the new Master Blaster Muzzle brake is IMO the best muzzle brake you can put on these SML , it really tames these guns down. It is a great addition to these barrels.

I had Tony Gettel from Tonyโs grips and forearm make it to match my stock. Tony does a wonderful job and the forearm was110.00 shipped to my door. The forearm is a 12 ga dimensions. Tonyโs is the only place I could find to make it and he has made me several Encore pistol sets in the past, he does a outstanding job.
