Yeah, the internet reviews are 3 to 1 or more negative on the NcStars. I could get one I knew worked out of the box from a local dealer but his prices are 2X internet prices. The Deltapoint was well received by the remarks on the Enos forum but that's a chunk of change for something I don't 'need'. Think I'll see how well I do with the Dawson sights I've already installed on the slide. When I finally get the barrel........

Thanks to all, for your comments.

Maybe I missed something.  But did you get the barrel?  And what barrel is it you're going to get, or waiting for?  If you now have the barrel, how have the Dawson sights turned out?

Redline......I posted a follow up in the original thread in Gunsmithing under Long Slide.

The barrel was a 6.61 inch LW, threaded. I finally bought a used one from a member of this forum. LW had then in stock about a week later. heh...  Anyway, I was getting smileys with loads that worked okay in a std Glock barrel and thought the bore looked a little rough. I'm taking Yondering's advice to polish the chamber and moderately fire lap the barrel......when I get around to it.

With the 23 lb spring the setup wouldn't function well with lighter loads (Atlanta Arms 180) ......no problems with  warmer hand loads. To answer your question I haven't fired it enough to comment on the Dawson sights.

Of late I've tried loading some 357 Sig but the expander ball on the RCBS die was too large and crushed the cases. They're sending a new one.......seems everything I've done lately has turned to _ _ _ _. Maybe after the holiday my luck will turn around. LOL

My bad!   I should have caught that.

Thanks for being considerate to the extent of filling me in here anyway.

I sure hope that Lone Wolf barrel works out for you in the end.  Pretty sad about the smileys showing up with the LW barrel.

Hopefully the Dawson sights work for you, just being that it saves a lot of money over going with optics.

It's good to hear RCBS is standing behind their products.

Put Dawson adjustable rear/Dawson FO fronts on my g31 and g20; takes time to fit the rear but easy enough to do. The fronts came with both red and green rods. For some reason the green seems less fuzzy than the red. Im 66 years old and need progressive bifocals but these sights are great to use.
