    Default Bar-Sto conversion barrels

    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.
    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???

    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.
