    9mm .356 in Lone Wolf, Storm Lake or KKM?

    Heard Lone Wolf and Storm Lake have a short throat for .356 9mm and just wanted to check what you guys think.

    KKM is said to have a more forgiving amount of room.

    I just don't want to have to use the FCD and don't want to load shorter than 1.100 which is what I see people saying

    My lone wolf 9mm conversion barrel (G22) is tighter than my Lone Wolf G35 (9mm barrel) My KKM barrel in my G35 is in 40SW and I have not compared it with my storm lake 40 barrel as the ammo I make for the storm lake works for the KKM. I just use the tightest barrels I have as a chamber guide.

    you can get those throats fixed easy enough.
    DougGuy just fixed a pair for BTroj and it was like 75 bucks for the pair and quick turn around time.
    many times your short oal is because of a lack of any throat in the barrel.
    they just go from chamber to rifling and this jams up the nose.
    cut that offending rifling away in a tapered angle and you can run just about any reasonable oal you wish with about any nose shape you want that will fit the magazine.
