Looks like all this loading and testing will become my Christmas passion for the year.

Quote from: The_Shadow on September 13 2025 06:59:30 PM MDTThanks. The Ebay one may be ok as is, my 9x25's are the Lone Wolf conversion from early on.
The Bar-Sto is an expensive one but likely a great barrel, some Bar-Sto barrels require fitting.
The Bar-Sto barrels (40S&W & 9x25 Dillon) I got for my S&W 1006 both required fitting and the 9x25Dillon I bought from Mike Mcnett of Double Tap required fitting to the slide and frame and then the chamber need to be finished reamed to proper depth.  I fitted them to the 1006 but sent the barrel to a nice guy that did the finish reaming.
This is the Bar-Sto 40S&W and 9x25 barrels both had to be fitted to the S&W1006...

Thank you for all the detailed info.

We had our gun show in town this weekend and I checked out the Ruger as well as the S&W 5.7. The grip on both is really weird since they are so thin but long. Considering the lacquer issues when reloading and the lack of new brass, I'm staying away for now.

And since a 9x25 conversion also comes with challenges, I will see what I can do with my Alpha 10mm barrel first.

Now, in my G29 I use Underwood Xtreme Penetrator rounds for HD. They are 140gr and fly at 1500.

Underwood also has 115 grain Xtreme Defense round at 115gr, coming in at 1700.

With my Alpha barrel, higher pressures, and coming out of a longer 6 inch barrel, I should be able to make 1650 happen for the 140gr, and close to 1900 for the 115gr.

Instead of buying dies and a barrel for 9x25, I get a new chrono and work with what I have om 10mm, for now.

I have a 300 / 600 / 1000 yard range in my neck and will see what I can do between 100 and 300 with my own hot 10mm loads.

Maybe I will get a longer barrel. Are there any 7" barrels for the G40?

Also, all LoneWolf barrels are sold out. Are they going out of business?

^You and I think and feel a lot alike.

Quote from: sqlbullet on September 12 2025 03:06:33 PM MDTI hate to break this to you....I am pretty left.  But very 2A at the same time.  Keep in mind "left" doesn't always mean "democrat".

And in the state I live, a democrat here is about the same as just right of center Republican in other places.

And, you are not right.  The "edges" of both parties are so radical I don't know how to deal.

There was a time when I could understand that people would be pro 2a, but still vote for any Dems, but the party has shown that it can't be trusted at all, leaving zero wiggle room in my book.

Keep in mind, that I'm very opinionated. At the end of the day, it is just that... an opinion. And you can obviously share yours in the same way, and vote however it fits your values.

As a matter of facts, I don't fit into any drawer, let alone in this 2 party nonsense.

I'm for the most part a libertarian. I rather see a small government with little to no waste in tax revenue, and no personal infringements. Granted, that would require a more responsible society.

I'm liberal to a degree that I don't care if people are white, black, yellow, purple, gay, straight or guys wear panties. What I do NOT want, is being told what I have to accept or like.

When it comes to the US, we could make use of much better anti-trust laws so we don't get screwed over by trillion dollar market-cap monopolies. Throw in term-limits and age-restrictions for politicians. Instead of one president ruling most of it, we should have entities that focus solely on economy, or education, or military, or health care, or law enforcement, etc. and allow us to vote proper people into place based on those categories and their skills.

Any form of lobbying should also be outlawed. And get rid of this garbage, bias and agenda driven media complex.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Nice collection of barrels!

I never loaded hot for my G40. What FPS can I expect with my AlphaWolf 10mm barrel, stock length? 1600 from a 165gr?

Will a 9X25 fly much flatter in comparison?

Are these any good? Sold a bunch of them:

Or this one?

I suppose I could swap the barrel in my G-20 and even my G-29 to 9X25 Dillon or these others...

G-20 Barrels


But then the 9" 10mm barrel gets out there



G-29 Barrels

Quote from: sqlbullet on September 12 2025 07:33:41 PM MDTA fast 9?  38 super, 9x23 or a 9x25.  Ammo can be a challenge but those are all smoking hot, have great barrier penetration in heavier bullets, shoot flat and have excellent capacity. 

A 9x25 converted G40 with 2000+ FPS loads? hmmm...

A 9X25 Barrel in the G40 is the easy button, and the Underwood 90 grain solids probably will be closer to 2100 fps from the extra barrel length of the G40.

I keep resisting the urge to pick up a RIA double stack 9mm and ream it to 9X23. It would trail just behind the 9X25 in velocity, may 100-150 fps with that 90 grain bullet.  But it would hold 18+1 and jump up to 23-24 in an extended base plate mag.

Quote from: The_Shadow on September 12 2025 07:34:56 PM MDTWell I carried the S&W 1006 in my earlier years open carry mostly.  When S&W decided to not provide replacement parts I opted for the Glock 29 in a JS Kydex IWB because it was only slightly larger than the firearm.
Short time later I obtained a Glock 30 for a great price and I have carried it ever since in the same IWB holster till that holster finally broke the belt clip. Since JS went out of business after the owner passed.
I did find another replacement Kydex IWB that was almost the same except the belt clip was adjustable.

There are times I carry my Ruger LCP 380 to small functions and family get togethers just to have something.

Yes the world is in constant change and political and religious factions are a big part of the disruptions.

You are not helping lol

A fat and slow .45 out of a short barrel is NOT helping with a bad guy out at 150 yards using a rifle.

I know, this sounds way off - but I'm known for unconventional plans and solutions. I really want a long range pistol.

I want matching sights too.
