Trade Value or Items Looking For: Glock 19 with gills

Caliber: 40

Item Description: Have a LNIB Glock 23 RTF2 with gills and new night sights installed. I'm looking for a 9mm conversion barrel for it at the moment but if someone hits me with a glock 19 that has gills for trade before i get the barrel, you got it.

For $120 you can get the storm lake conversion barrels at 400 jewelry and loan .... DO NOT buy the lonewolf version of this. Their conversion barrel combined with people that try to use the .40 mags to feed 9mm is the reason that the fallacy exists that conversions like this are unreliable. The storm lake barrels in the 23s that I actually use has fired well over 1k rounds flawlessly but the lone wolf barrel that I bought initially didn't make it through the first two boxes without both failures to feed and extract. (in the same firearms)

I would think any issues you would have with the LoneWolf 9mm barrel, would have to do more with the .40 Glock recoil spring assembly. Or with any brand conversion barrel, using the 9mm barrel in the .40 cal gun.

If that were truly the case then the storm lake barrels wouldn't function flawlessly in the same guns with the same batch of ammo .... put the lone star barrels in that I used to have ... 1:20 - 1:30 is a failure ... put the storm lake barrel in with everything else being the same it's 100% reliable. I only found this out by accident because when I went to buy a conversion barrel for a new 23 that I got they only had the storm lake brand ... I'll never buy any other brand of this specific product now.

I had two of the lonewolf conversion barrels and literally threw them out after I got and tried the first new storm lake barrel. I thought they (the lone wolf conversion barrels) were cool for practice but a bit finicky but not enough not to be able to live with it plinking .... and assumed that it was as good as it got because of the conversion until I got the other one.

FWIW, in a GEN3 (which is what a RTF2 is), the RSA is the same for both the .40 & 9mm models.

Nice pistol, GTH!

Good discussion....from more research, looks like they are the same.

Storm lake are awesome barrels, Competition match grade stainless. Wolf barrels are cheap conversion barrels. U get what u pay 4. The reason a wolf barrel costs 100 and a storm lakes starts off at 150.

I have one Storm Lake and one Lonewolf Threaded conversion barrel. I have had absolutely NO issues with ANY ammo on EITHER of them and I have put 700+ rounds through both and another 500+ through a suppressor easy on both. I have shot both barrels through a couple of G23's and a G27 without issue. I did have one 33 round mag that started having feed issues, but it did it with both barrels. I think the mag spring finally got too weak to feed quick enough. I may just be lucky, but thats my .02.
