BK201 8 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 http://www.lonewolfdist.com/UIImages/10000/LWDCatalog_2013_HQ.pdf Take a little look at their barrel conversion section in Lone Wolf Distributor's 2013 catalog. There is a 9mm conversion barrel they now sell. I emailed them and they DO have them in stock, 124.95 just like most other barrels they sell. This is fairly neat, as I've been thinking about getting a 10mm pistol, but also wanted a 9mm. Now, LWD sells a .40 conversion [as well as .357 sig and 9x25 dillion] but ive always fancied 9mm more than the high pressure .40S&W. Anyway,I thought I'd share as I'm sure there are some guys out there that own Glock pistols and have always wanted to maybe shoot a cheaper caliber through their gun. note: why is this in a Glock 20 significant? Because until now, most people claimed that converting the 10mm to a 9 wouldnt be possible because the cartridge couldnt push the heavier 10mm slide back reliably. Now, I'm sure that you're probably going to also need to invest in a lighter spring but the end result is a single handgun that covers a great defensive round [more power than a .357], but now also fires two of the three most common semi auto rounds, not to mention the two oddballs I listed earlier. There is also a .22 caliber conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigj480 203 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 How does that work with the mags? If it was a round that was basically starts with 40 S&W case I could see it working with existing 10mm mags, Like 357 sig. A little google search says it has to use +p ammo, not a huge deal. Almost wish I would have purchased a 20 now, instead of my G23 w/9mm bbl. I like options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK201 8 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) i am under the impression that LWD's conversion barrels allow you to just swap to a magazine of the specific caliber. Least, that's what I read. you can go down in size, but not up. SO, i figure any mag should fit. Edited December 8, 2012 by BK201 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YARP 300 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 9mm magazines don't fit in to a G20 magwell. Although I understand your excitement for a new option, the system will be ripe with problems. You will need to change the extractor, the magazine follower and the recoil spring at bare minimum to get a semi-functional gun. I LOVE Glocks.....Mainly because they go bang everytime and are accurate, take that away and you might as well go get a Hi-Point. Save your $ and just get yourself a dedicated 9mm Glock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigj480 203 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 just get yourself a dedicated 9mm Glock I would say get yourself a 40/357 and use a conversion barrel....but only if it's a range toy. I was going to buy a threaded barrel for a supressor anyway, so that's what I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
