Bar-Sto conversion barrels

[yqtszhj]

Anybody ever used a Bar-Sto conversion barrel? I have a .40 cal Sig P229 that I am thinking about getting a 9mm conversion barrel to shoot 9mm through it. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these.

I've got a couple of Bar-Sto barrels, although not conversion.
A 45 ACP for my P220 and a 357 Sig for my P239.
Both are accurate.
But have very tight chambers and are not 100% reliable.
Fine for the range, but I wouldn't use one in a carry gun.

That is what I was wondering regarding reliability. Thanks.

I had one for a Sig P229. It was not a drop in, it took quite a bit of fitting. I would suggest finding a used P229 slide with barrel. You see them reasonable from time to time on e bay.
