Glock pistols have always presented a challenge for examiners due to the lack of marks transferred to fired bullets. Glock has developed the EBIS barrel in order to assist in identifications. A test was conducted to determine the durability of the striations imparted from the barrel onto the bullets. It was determined that the gross lines remained through thousands of rounds, but the finer striations faded somewhat during that time.
