Question about Glock 40-9 conversion barrel.
I’m specifically asking about a Glock 27.
I just picked up a 9mm conversion barrel from a super member here on the forum. I also plan to change to a 9 mm extractor, ejector and spring loaded bearing. This pretty much duplicates a G26 with the exception of the slightly larger slide bore.
After these changes are made will I be able to swap back to the .40 barrel and shoot that round without issue? It’s well documented that when going 40-9 the barrel change is all that’s really required. Changing the additional parts just adds reliability should I choose to carry it with 9s. I can’t find anything going the other direction after swapping internals though. I know it won’t be as reliable in 40 anymore, I just want do some comparisons between the calibers and need to know if I should hold off swapping the ejector, etc.
Thanks in advance for any and all information, BrianDDG-8 "Sine Timore"

I don't change the extractor, ejector or anything but the barrel. Never had a problem.

Re: Question about Glock 40-9 conversion barrel.
I know that works for nine but wasn’t sure if the same holds true when the gun is set up for nine but I’m shooting 40.
I guess an equivalent question would be could I shoot 40 out of a Glock 26 IF there was a way to put a a 40 caliber conversion barrel in itDDG-8 "Sine Timore"

Re: Question about Glock 40-9 conversion barrel.
You pull the 9mm parts back out to go 40. Wait on getting the other parts. Just shoot the conversin barrel. It will work great. I have wolf with the dumb head on it. Works great. Im shooting a 23.

^^ thank you, that’s what I needed know. I’ll wait until after my comparisons to fully convert it to nine.

^ I admit I don’t hate it either. I also have a 357 Sig barrel and it makes it so there’s no excuse to try to load 40s into it.
