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.

I went to the local range last wed evening.  I carried my G22 with the lone wolf conversion barrel and fired about 150 rounds of reloaded ammo with out a problem............They work and for the money are a super deal..............

I have a 5" barrel for my G21, and a 6" for my G20.  Both are accurate and have racked up thousands of rounds of flawless operation.

Very nice product and super customer support.  Got one for my comp gun, it had a very tight chamber and won't feed my reloads.  Factory ammo ran OK.  LW opened the chamber for free.  Problem solved. I'd buy from them again.
