[Glock20]

I recently picked up a Lone Wolf 10/40 conversion barrel for my Glock 20.
Price from Dillon was $113.44 shipped.

Only shot 50 rounds so it's not scientific by any means. Load was 40 S&W with 180gr Berry's plated using Tightgroup powder. (mid + load) 1.125 OAL

Installing the LW barrel is as simple as the stock Glock barrel. Truly drop in.
I used the stock recoil spring and G-20 magazine.

First two magazines were with 13 rds each. I was somewhat careful to make sure they were pushed back as far as possible.
Pulled the slide back and the round chambered perfect. Ok, let's see how it shoots.
Shots were fine and landed pretty much where it was pointed. Out of the 2 magazines there were 4 fail to feed.
From what I could tell, the recoil was pushing the rounds forward in the magazine.

Next I loaded just 8 rounds in each magazine and there were no fail to feed.
I'll have to test more to see if less rounds = no fail to feed, or if it was a fluke. (gives me another reason to hit the range)
Since I would never use the conversion barrel for carry, the fail to feeds are not a big issue.

Overall, the conversion barrel does exactly what it's supposed to do. Giving me another caliber to load (which is always a good thing). With 40 S&W brass readily available and cheap and allows the use of lead bullets.

Anyone else have experience with using a conversion barrel?

I put a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion in my G22 intending to use my 40 S&W mags. No such luck. I haven't ordered any G17 mags yet but it's on my list of things to do.

Happy longtime user of Lone Wolf barrels. Match grade stainless conventional land/groove rifled barrels for shooting lead/Moly/plated/jacketed bullets, tight chamber, polished ramp/barrel, life-time warranty and being able to shoot cheaper/more popular rounds with conversion barrels. :D

pcwirepro, G22 requires G17 magazine to feed well but my stock G27 magazines work well feeding/chambering 9mm reloads. Replacing old worn magazine followers with new followers also helped with feeding/chambering. YMMV

Like others I also have the G22 LW 40-9mm conversion barrel. Started working up several 9mm loads using MB cast bullets and so far so good. Much, much cheaper to shoot and I don't have to worry about not being able to find the ammo that the pistols prefer. Will probably pick up 2 more barrels, on for our G19 (giving it to the daughter for her graduation) and a .40 for my G22 so I can shoot cast/reloads. For paper-punching and plinking its hard to be the performance and price of the reloads.

Call me stubborn but for carry I stick with the factory barrel/mags it is simply one less factor to deal with :)
