I bought a 9mm replacement barrel from them for one of my .40 BHP's so thought I would give a quick report. It's a long story, but I already had sights installed on this pistol for IDPA so wanted to try a 9mm barrel in it. These are made specifically for converting a .40 to 9mm and the lugs are so machined. As well as the barrel they thoughtfully provided a spare 9mm recoil spring in case I needed one.
First, the barrel looks great, inside is as smooth as any barrel I've ever seen, almost looks like it's already been lapped.
I've tried it in two different .40 slides and the lockup is at least as good, if not better, than the factory barrels. I only ran some of the cheapest Remington ammo through it tonight but was very pleased with the accuracy at IDPA type shooting.
I tired to run the .40 recoil spring as they suggested but the slide would not lock back. Swapped springs and that problem disappeared. I do have a problem with FTE's now, specifically seemed to be happening with an older 13round factory mag out of my competition model, and two new 13 round Mecgars. With the factory 10 rounders it ran fine. I'm going to try some different loads to see if it is ammo related, and change the mag spring on my older mag. Hopefully that fully solves the problem.
