Should every Glock owner also have a conversion barrel ?

[Bad Caselaw]

Every Glock owner ??? No... not the ones that bought the right gun in the first place and purchase ammo in bulk or reload.





j/k

Yep.

.40/180/G23 is exactly what I wanted, same w/ the .45ACP/230/G36.

Why do they need a gender reassignment?

What I've found everytime I do it. If you want to shoot 9mm through a.40 why not just buy a 9mm? I ended up only using my conversion barrel. Just me though...

I think you will find that most glock owners just own more glocks!

Is the point of aim really that much different in a G23 say between .40 and 9mm ? Found this cool video by RUN And GUN on the same subject

When I was using one in my G22 I found that the conversion barrel was 3 inches to the left when using 9mm Winchester white box compared to 180 grain 40 cals.

I've been extremely happy with the 40-9 Lone Wolf conversion barrel for my G22. The POI is right where the sights say they should be, so I have no problems with it.

My G22, other than the 9mm Stormlake conversion barrel and a couple of 9mm mags has been flawless. No additional parts needed.

I will just use my Blue Label discount to buy the gun I want.

I think conversion barrels are fine for range guns but I wouldn't want one in a self defense gun.

[den888]

I have a 40-9 for my G23, just like having a G19 and a G23!

No need for conversion barrels, just own several Glocks in different calibers.

[ElDub1950]

a 2nd reason I got a conversion barrel was so I can shoot cheap lead reloads

[Wicked K5]

My G23 40-9 Stormlake barrel has been great so far. I couldn't quite justify spending an extra $275 to get a whole other gun. And the conversion with two mags would pay for itself within 2000 rounds.

LWD

Storm Lake

Another?

FYI, I have been thru a couple LE trainings, EP classes and just general range work with this conversion barrel. I'd trust mine for a self defense gun. Your comfort level may vary...

Accurate and reliable are sometimes two different things. KKM and Barsto are tight match while Stormlake is match but seems to be between super tight match and Glock factory. At least those I have used before.
