PD returned my email inquiry asking if they could handle CZ Shadow 2 barrels. That's the barrel no one wants to touch - even those who say they can do 'hardened' barrels. They said no problem . I sent mine in and with about a week turnaround time, I can now load out to reasonable length 1.135 - 1.1500 depending on the profile. No detriment to accuracy either.

So I was very happy with the services rendered. The day they received my barrel it was shipped out the next following day. Thanks for getting this typically impossible task done!

We all know that many companies in this industry aren’t that great about answering emails/inquiries. Patriot replied to my question about this service the same day and turnaround couldn’t have been faster.

Would not allow 9mm factory or reload rounds to chamber. PD reamed just enough to allow proper chambering of rounds. Quick turnaround and reasonable cost.
Would definitely use their service again if needed.

For some reason, my Shadow2 Optics Ready pistol would not feed and function well with 135gr JHP ammunition.
I shot Carry Optics in USPSA and this was very frustrating.
A fellow competitor recommended Patriot Defense since he had the same problems with his Shadow2.
I went on their web site and ordered up the barrel reaming, and it was very easy.
I sent in the barrel and the same day it was received at Patriot Defense I got an order update and then the work was completed the same day and shipped back to me the same day.
I got the barrel back and went to the range to check functionality…..over 150 rounds there with no malfunctions.
I shot a local USPSA match a few days later, round count was 185, and agin hand no malfunctions.
Patriot Defense does very good work and they were fast…..if I need more work in the future they will be the first place I check.

Sent 3 barrels to get reamed, should have done it a long time ago! I’m able to load to 1.1250 instead of 1.08 and able to use different bullet profile!

Less than one week turn around-looks great! Neat work- have not been able to test yet, but looks like a pro job. Thanks.

Good service and quick turnaround.

I was glad to find Patriot Defense would ream my hard coated barrels. Service and turnaround times were both very good. I'll be sending Patriot Defense a few more barrels this week for the same service.
