Thanks for all the replies, you've given me enough confidence to give one a try, maybe.

The only quandary I have now is whether to go ahead with the barrel swap, or just buy a dedicated 9mm semi for the range. On one hand, I would get practice with my 1911, which I love to shoot and carry. On the other hand, I could buy an black 9mm from one of the big 3 manufacturers and have a reliable range and truck type beater gun. I lean toward the conversion, but I'm not certain yet.

If/when I buy the barrel, I'll post a review and range results.
