Went to install an EFK Firedragon 9mm conversion barrel in my new XD-40 service 4". I've used storm lake in the past and never had fitment issues. I've tried contacting EFK a couple times now with no response. I figured I would post some pics and see what you guys have to say. First, the barrel does not have a recessed section/notch for the lug of the guide spring rod, but a flat portion to just sit on. When I install the barrel and go to re-install the slide, it will not rack back more than the picture. At first I thought it was catching the hood, but it seems there is a section on the bottom by the lug where the barrel is at a slanted angle and rides on the frame. THe EFK barrel has significantly more material and at a steeper angle than the stock barrel and will not seat down on the frame and it seems then the hood will not clear. Does that seem correct to you all? I believe I will have to remove material from that section. THe pictures have red arrows pointing to the section of the barrel I'm talking about. Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated. Would love to hear from EFK or see other members EFK conversion barrels. If the barrel looks like it was not machined correctly let me know. Parts of it are still raw casting.
