Calling all Glock experts...(Chris Z)

I've used the LW 409 barrels in my G23 before and they worked fine with Glock 9mm mags. I had feeding issues with the Korean 9mm mags so I would avoid them. (Those same Korean mags worked fine in my G19.)
You can get them slightly cheaper on eBay also...
Chris Z:
I've converted Glock .40's to 9mm with Lone Wolf barrels before with some success. You will need G19 mags for sure.
My experience has been that mags were the only "must have". Changing the trigger housing (to one with a 9mm ejector) is recommended...... You can use the .40 ejector with a 9mm, but DO NOT use a 9mm ejector with .40 ammo.
I've never changed extractor before for conversions.....
I would never personally recommend shooting cast lead bullets in a factory Glock barrel..... However I know some folks who do it all the time, however they are careful to make sure they clean the barrel well each time.

That I do say all the time!
Mntnman:
I don't think you will need to change the extractor. I am unaware of anyone needing to after conversion.
My only experience is with a S&W M&P 357 that I have 40 cal (factory)and 9 mm (Storm Lake) barrels for and I have not had a hiccup thus far. I have shot a couple hundred 40 (Tula steel case and hollow point reloads) and probably 300 (mostly Tula steel cased) 9mm. Funny, I have only shot 8 357 sig Hornady defense ammo through it, but I am starting to find it so there will be more in the near future.
