I got a Lone Wolf comversion barrel G20 10MM to 9MM -6" barrel a while back and finally got to the range to see how it runs. I tried a few powders I had on hand.
The paperwork said to run ONLY +P loads thru the barrel (NO doubt to get the slide to work correctly).
ALL loads ran perfectly with no FTF. The slide had a tendency to lock back with 1 round still in the mag (NOT always but 90% of the time) .Accuracy was very good with the 115 gr RN at 10 yards and only so/so , 3" with the 125 gr Ranier.
Loads Spec's :Primers WSP,cases :assorted brands. Loaded with 38 Super dies

475/480, Thanks for posting that info, I was looking at the 9mm barrels last night over at LWD. What magazine are you using to feed the 9's in your G-20? ???
I was told by LWD to use standard G20 mags and they have worked perectly so far.

Thanks! I also got your answer in the PM. Very interesting! 8)
Did you use an 11lb recoil spring like they suggest on their website?
Yes I did.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
How far was the brass ejecting?
Since it was assorted brands of brass I did not pay attention. I just pick up and use whatever brass is at the range.
This is the only 9MM I have and will run whatever I can thru it.

Thanks for the info I have been thinking about the 40 conversion I have around 900 rounds of ammo and no 40 to shoot it in.

Do you have a Glock 10mm or a revolver? .40's do fine in those.
I have the stock length 10 MM /40 SW conversion barrel also. I traded for it and it shoots and runs well with the G20 mags and 200 gr bullets at 900 fps.

I am going to order a barrel like I said I have a pile of loaded ammo.
Ramjet,
You can fire 40 S&W in your 10mm barrel for practice, no problem. I have run 100+ rounds of Federal 180 gr. FMJ through my G20SF (all stock) with zero malfunctions.
Rounds can only feed from the magazine, be aware that there could be a ring of buildup that you need to clean if you run a lot of 40 then switch back to 10mm.
