I just ordered a EFK 9mm conversion barrel for my .357 sig XD from Pistol Gear. I was wondering if anyone who has the conversion barrel could tell me their experience with it. Do I need a different guide spring with it or does the stock .357 spring work OK? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Stick with your current parts, that is the value of the conversion rod. Some guys play with spring weight and use 9mm magazines, however this is not neccessary unless there is an issue.

If you haven't seen this yet, it may be helpful to you. Thanks for your order!

does the conversion barrel rattle around under the slide or does it fit snuggle? and How well does it work? No one in the gun shops around here know how the conversion barrels would work.

It should be tight, not rattle around. The accuracy is at least as good as the stock barrel, if not better.

I have a 9mm conv barrel from EFK for my 40 and it works great.The barrel fit like the stock .40 barrel. I bought a 9mm mag for it because I didnt want to bend the lips on my 40 mag, it also helps prevent shooting the wrong caliber in the wrong barrel.I also have a Don's guide rod and 22lb spring. My gun has worked flawlessly with over 800 rnds through it.
If you want an EFK barrel I suggest getting it from pistolgear.com rather than directly from EFK, the factory gets backed up on orders and it takes awhile.
