You can't throat an S-2 barrel. 

Excessive throat "lead" has the potential to deteriorate accuracy.

Sometimes I wonder if I can just pay to have you on a gunsmith support plan so I can call for stupid questions in an effort to prevent broken or ruined stuff.

At least he has allways talked to me on the phone if I can reach him. And I have sent him a gift certificate, but you might inquire which ones he prefers!  Great guy! ;)

I just saw that Barsto is making S2 barrels. If you really want one with more lead...

I had no problem throating my P07 with a cheap reamer. It was choking on factory hollow points as well as my reloads. Works great now.



Ahhh yeah.... the P-07 P-09 and S2 have nitride treated barrels. Your reamer will not cut those. You need a special reamer or just send it to a shop that has one. Real PITA... sorry
