jameslee1223 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 After fixing a previous problem with my G23 I've now encountered a new one. My son bought me a Lone Wolf threaded conversion barrel for my 23. It's chambered in 9mm. I took it to the range and couldn't hit 8" plates at 10 yards. Whoa. So out came the paper targets. The pistol now shoots 8.75" high at 25 yards. Has anyone else had such a massive shift in the POI when using a conversion barrel? Any advice on solutions? I'm leaning towards getting Dawson Precision adjustable sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) All depends on the gun, the barrel and the bullet weight and velocity. That's why you check POA/POI. Was your previous problem associated with shooting high also? 9" high at 25 yards is about a .050" change on the sights (either shorter rear, or a taller front to correct it). Usually adjustables do not have that much take up. Are you holding the gun high in the web of your hand with the correct grip?

jameslee1223 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Grip is high enough into the beaver tail that I consistently get slide bite. Stock barrel shoots POI=POA. I'm baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searchnman Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Lone Wolf barrels are notorious for that. Change your sights or experiment with other ammo. You will typically have a POA/POI shift though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 if the change is that big, IMO the barrel is not properly fitted to the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivenagain Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Not a big fan of those barrels, when I changed to my Bar-Sto barrel it was dead nuts on, hands down the best mod ive ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I thought their older stuff was alright. Their new alpha wolf barrels not so much. I have had both and KKM. If you're just plinking around...nothing wrong with lone wolf...but for competition or ccw I'd spend the extra $75 and get a KKM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
