I can't speak to a Storm Lake as I have never had one. I have a LWD that I can say enough good about. It is really for a 24 but worked fine in my 35. It has been in 3 guns and ran flawlessly in all 3. The only thing you will need is a lighter spring, 13 to 15#. Never a problem withe the extractor or ejector in either of the 3 guns. Before I changed the spring I had a couple of hicups with subsonic ammo but none with standard ammo. After I dropped the spring down to 15# not one more problem.

Im in the same boat as you, I ordered the Lone Wolf threaded conversion with a comp too. right now im waiting for it to come in, its on backorder right now, i went ahead and ordered a lighter spring to just in case, I'll let you know how it works out when it comes in.

...I have been wondering that same thing!... I have a L/W 9mm. conversion barrel for my G32, Had it for about three years now and I'm only now starting to like it. For two years I tried every store bought brand and gr. weight ammo avalible. It wouldn't group worth a crap, Best group I could get out of it was football size and shape, high right at 10 yds. and they would keyhole. But with the 357 sig barrel in it I could get silver dollar size groups at 10 yds. One day while I was working with it at the indoor range I rented a G23 and slipped the 9 conversion barrel in it,,,,,,,,,,,, Same thing. Turkey platter groups. At least now I knew it was the barrel and not the gun.................. I have been reloading for about a year now and finely found what the barrel likes........................ .357 Yup .357 di. bullets, It will now shoot nice tight groups and punch clean hole's. :cheers:

I have both conversion barrels and can't say that I have a preference. I don't like the LW engraving, but it effects nothing other than my aesthetics. Both are good quality products.

I didn't like the LW engraving either and I found that you can order a "blind marked" barrel which is when they put the wolf's head and marking on the locking lug so it can't be seen when installed.

I ordered a 9mm conversion for my G24 and just put another 200 rounds through it yesterday. The first time out with it I had a few FTE's but the last two times out with it I have had zero problems in 500+ rounds of lead reloads.

I'm on the verge of getting the LW barrel for my 35. Do you find any significant differences in point of impact, as in elevation? Can I expect a 124 gr. 9mm to shoot to the same point of impact as a 180 gr. .40?

Dave Sinko

That is the one thing with mine. My impact was a few inches to the left. I plan on replacing the factory sights with something better, I guess it will have to be adjustable. I have just been blasting steel plates so it is no big deal but i will have to do something eventually.
