Oh it isn't a conversion barrel unfortunately:crying:. Just a lone wolf 40 S&W. The 9mm conversion is the very next thing on my list of purchases.Nice! I wish I had a conversion barrel
I apologize. I left an important part of the deal out. The 39 had a lightning strike aluminum trigger with a 3.5 lb. connector so that evened things up a bit. I also gave him a cheapo holster, and a case of 20 federal home defense rounds, but only 1 magazine. He gave me the 27, aftermarket case, a case of winchester white box and 2 magazines. Plus he didn't include the original barrel for some reason.Wait... so you traded a used stock 39 for a used 27 with night sights and another barrel?
You sir, got a great deal if you ask me.
Hmm... I knew a guy (used to be a friend but no longer) who did this with a G19 (iirc). He used an cheap barrel (Lone Wolf) because of a KB. After that he was afraid to shoot it cause somethings didnt look/feel right.I apologize. I left an important part of the deal out.

Oh yeah and he said he didn't like that there was only 1 magazine and not much ammo so I threw in an old backup camera that I bought like 4 or 5 years ago :rofl:
Given the lack of trade value of .45 GAPs, I'd say you did OK. Did you also get the original barrel and a Lone Wolf replacement or conversion, or is it Lone Wolf only?I handed off my G39 for a nice G27 with night sights and a lone wolf barrel. Can't wait until I take it to the range on monday!!! I'll update with pics tomorrow hopefully.
That answers my question. My first job would be to find a good used original barrel for the 27 (I'd even call the original owner and see if he'd offer to throw it in or sell it cheap (i.e. $30-50). No way I'd want it without an original barrel - the Lone Wolf is fine if you want to shoot lead at the range, but I would prefer to only carry with a Glock barrel.I apologize.

While I agree that it's odd he didn't have the stock barrel, I would say the MAJORITY of people who buy an aftermarket barrel do it because they like to tinker... besides, a Glock OEM barrel would have been cheaper than a LWD, wouldn't it?You do have to wonder where the original barrel is right? Why would someone buy a Lone Wolf .40 cal barrel to replace a Glock .40 cal barrel unless the OEM had a problem.
I believe the stock Glock barrel is around 150 clams and the Lone Wolfe is 100....could be wrong but thats what I remember seeing for prices in December...While I agree that it's odd he didn't have the stock barrel, I would say the MAJORITY of people who buy an aftermarket barrel do it because they like to tinker... besides, a Glock OEM barrel would have been cheaper than a LWD, wouldn't it?
YOU sir, are correct. I stand humbly corrected. :notworthy:I believe the stock Glock barrel is around 150 clams and the Lone Wolfe is 100....could be wrong but thats what I remember seeing for prices in December...
Glad to hear it all worked out! With all of us raining on your parade and all... :supergrin:Update: I called him up and he said he would deliver the stock barrel as long as I gave him the lone wolf barrel. Plus he is one of those guys that likes to talk about his guns nonstop so that is a good tell of how legitimate he is. I decided to hang on to the lone wolf barrel. He said if anything goes wrong with it he would gladly trade back. I feel very good about this deal.
