I just got a LWD conversion barrel for my G23 to convert it to 9mm so I could do some range work with cheaper ammo. I also bought a new 15 round G19 magazine. I took it out the the range today to test fire it. I was using Concho 115gr. The magazine was topped out and one in chamber. The first round ejected, but it failed to feed the next round. The casing landed and stayed right on top the pistol. :whistling: I got the next round to chamber and fired out the rest with no problem. Reloaded the magazine and started again with 15+1. Again, it fired the first round but failed to feed. After that it fired great, even at rapid fire. Figuring it was the full mag causing the problem, I loaded it up again with 15 rounds, but did not top it off. It fired flawlessly. I didn't have time to try another 15+1, but I imagine that the magazine will need some breaking in and will keep it fully loaded for awhile to do just that.
The LWD conversion barrel worked great and was accurate. But like many other posters here, I would only use it for the range.
