They're here! They arrived this morning. I took some photos of one, along side a factory .40 Auto barrel.

I put 200 rounds through one of mine (I bought two) today. Flawless and accurate. One of my ten-shot groups (10 yards with two-hand hold) was one-inch, or counting one flyer it becomes 1.5 inches. I am impressed with this barrel.

Looks sweet, how about a picture with one in the gun??

 

[lunde]

Will do. Tonight.

How are these?

####!! What a tease. I can't wait to get mine in the mail. Hopefully it'll show up tomorrow, so I can get a couple hundred rounds through it this weekend.

They sure are nice, wish I would of gotten in on the deal. I was afraid the stainless wouldn't look right in the gun, but I was wrong!

Hello All,

I ran both my barrels today with one FTF caused by the Canned Heat ammo.

With the big HiViz front sight on both pistols, I was able to consistantly "clang" the chicken at 25 yards. It became boring and matter of fact.

TQM

If I buy a .40 P99, can I get a 9mm and 357 Sig barrel for it ?

You can at least get a .357 Sig barrel for it. Theoretically, Bar-Sto can eventually make 9mm conversion barrels, but I have no idea what the timing would be. You should contact Bar-Sto to inquire.

i would buy a 9mm conversion barrel in a heart beat. i will start harasing the bar-sto right now

would a stock Walther 9mm not fit the 40 cal frame?
maybe thats a dum question, but i only have the 9mm........havnet handled many 40 cals

According to the FAQ, "The 9mm and .40 Auto P99 barrels are not interchangeable due to different dimensions".

How much did the barrel cost you?

 

[lunde]

The barrels retail for $200. However, because we had a large number of barrels in the order (29), and because we place the order during 2002, we got 20% off the 2002 price ($195). So, the barrels worked out to be $156 a pop, without shipping. I took care of shipping from Bar-Sto to me, and charged $4 for shipping to those who went in on it. So, $160 total.
