    Ok so say for example I have a subcompact Glock, could I buy a conversion barrel, 40-9, that is a longer barrel and have more accurate shots, or would it not really matter?

    I know they exist. What I'm asking is if they really make a difference by buying the longer version for the smaller gun.

    It may give a tiny bit of accuracy, in general its the longer sight radius that most helps accuracy

    The Lone Wolf Barrel is 109mm, the stock G19 barrel is 102mm so it would be like shooting a slightly longer 19. Now how that comes into play mixed with the shorter sight radius of the sub compact I have no idea.
