Extended and Ported barrels for P229

[RandomCubed]

So I was surfing around and found these from Bar-Sto and EFK Fire Dragon.

Bar-Sto Precision Machine

Sig Sauer P228, 229 9MM

Anyone have experience with these?
and if you do which one would be preferable?

Bump, anyone?

I bought an EFK for my beretta a few years back, had to send them back twice because it was out of spec both times they sent it to me. decent CS but just a hassle. I've heard good things about BARSTO but have never bought anything from them

if it were me, I'd go Bar-Sto.

They're one of the 1500lb gorillas when it comes to aftermarket barrels - for all manner of firearms.

Caveat: I've never bought an aftermarket barrel for anything other than a PacLite upper for a Ruger pistol. That doesn't count!

Have fit a few after market barrels but only in 1911's. If it is marketed as a drop in fit, do not bet on it. There is always some issue with fit in my experience. No idea of your skill sets but be careful.

I used to have a Bar-Sto 9mm barrel for the 239 40/357. Good looking barrel, but minor gunsmithing was necessary. Bar-Sto says 7 out of 10 barrels are drop-in. I figured to go ahead and get rid of it since it was a +$200 barrel plus the fitting charges could make it a +$300 investment. I am just going to buy a complete pistol instead.
