Quoted:
I have looking at a Lone Wolf conversion barrel, and have been reading a lot of mixed reviews on them. How good is the quality? Are they reliable? I would be using on my carry gun.
I have one for my G23, in 9mm. I think it's a great barrel, very good quality.
Everyone has different experiences with them. The chamber on mine was a bit too tight, so I had it reamed out slightly. This vastly improved reliability.
I also use a 9mm extractor when I convert. (and 9mm mags of course, this should go without saying.)
You'll find varying opinions on their use for carry, but I will say that after over 1,000 flawless rounds, of various types, I have seen it now be 100% reliable, and would carry it this way with no problem.
For carry, it's all about reliability. That's the one thing that matters.
Alot of folks report 100% reliability without any mods, or extractor change. You just have to put it to the test.
