Title: Glock 20 to 9x25 dillon conversion barrel
Post by: Kenk on September 11 2018 05:13:32 AM MDT
Morning,
Does anyone other than Bar-Sto currently make a Glock 20 to 9x25 dillon conversion barrel ? I'm really struggling with paying Bar-Sto's prices
Thanks

Ken

You might ask KKM even though it's not shown on their website.  I had heard that they will make one, but not sure of pricing.  Someday Lone Wolf Dist. may start making them again after the make their runs of Alpha Wolf barrels.  I think they are feeding the ghost gun market and specialty cuts and finish products...
9x25 is a great cartridge it is more of a handloader,s cartridge.  Yes UW and DT still sell them and they are doing a good job with them. 

As such the 9x25 may not be for everyone, being a specialty type of cartridge.  My reason for getting into the 9x25 was because I had the opportunity to get a Bar-Sto barrel for my S&W 1006 from Mike McNett which he had them do a special run way back possibly 2003-2004 time frame.  Times were when the competition shooters were using 9x25's and it was more in the lime light.

One of the things I liked was the newer bullet styles in the 9mm & 357 caliber, that could be utilized from the 9x25.  Bullets of solid copper like Barnes, Lehigh Defense and others that would handle the upper velocities.  Also I cast bullets for myself and that allows me to play with my own cast bullets to keep cost down.  However brass is still a premium and even with very close tolerance headspacing brass can and does crack or split due to high pressures, work hardening or reworking these cartridges.

Nope.  At least not that I can find.

I would suggest you email or call KMM and Lone Wolf.

I tried lone wolf, Kim, storm lake and bar Sto.

Bar Sto was the only one that would make a 9x25 for me.

Thanks, KKM told me they make them for one month each year, which was last month. Guess it needs to go on next years calendar unless I break down and get one from Bar-Sto
