EFK Fire dragon barrels

[JJ1911]

I've been looking at Fire Dragon barrels for my XD Tactical. I'm new to .40 caliber, would a ported barrel have much effect? I am used to a low pressure round like .45, where a compensator does not help very much. Also how are the Fire Dragon barrels? Are they good quality, and are they drop in. Thanks!

I have one on my G17 and it works well (drop in). I also got the double recoil spring and with the compensated barrel it wouldn't cycle at times. I used just the compensated barrel with the stock spring, and stock barrel and double recoil spring and no problems with function. Effect? well it felt lighter to me... I did have to polish the feed ramp as well. I also have one on my 40, but in 357 sig, no problems as well. I have heard of issues with EFK, but I'm happy. Did you check Bar-sto? http://www.barsto.com/category_main.cfm?ID=XD&cco=63 They are a little more money but they are very nice.

I have the firedragon 9mm conversion for my XD 40. I have only had it a few weeks and have only put about 300 rounds through it but so far so good. Not a single FTF or FTE and it's more accurate than I am. It was drop-in and I have not changed any springs. I did grab some 9mm mags though.
