Default Extended barrels for Glocks?

Recently I've seen hunting shows and movies with Glocks that have barrels extending out from the housing about 2".
Why use a longer barrel?
Does it effect accuracy? . . . Velocity?
Who makes them?

I know if you are hunting in NC with a pistol the barrel has to be 6" long. Most semi auto's are not longer than 5" long, so the extended barrelwould allow them to be legal here.
You should be able to get an extended barrel here

Some of the longer barrels are ported.

You may get 50fps more velocity.

The extended barrel on a semi will only give you an extended sight radius IF you have an extended slide to go with it.

How does a longer barrel make it easier to shoot lead bullets?

The thing is most of the longer replacement aftermarket barrels offered for Glocks offer these advantages IF you have to have an extended barrel: Usually ported (reduced recoil)or threaded (suppressor or muzzlebreak), supported barrel instead of factory unsupported barrel, usually conventional rifling instead of factory polygonal rifling enabling use of cast lead bullets.
