Why does LoneWolf sell a "conversion barrel" to convert a .40 to 9mm.  I have a G23 and was thinking about buying a 9mm barrel.  Why not just buy a factory G19 barrel and drop it in?  Are the external dimensions that different?

Yes the G23 barrel is fatter.

This.  The LW barrels are great, I use one with my G23 and it's trouble free.  Obviously you still need 9mm magazines in addition to barrel.

External dimensions are different.  .40 is 10mm and therefor has a larger diameter than the 9mm barrel, which would be too small for the barrel opening of the slide (too loose).  Your options are a 9mm conversion from Lone Wolf or a G19 slide.

Ive got a LW 9mm Brl for my G23. Works great.

But i would buy Storm Lake or KKM if i were to do it again.

I had a guy tell me that you can just put in a g19 barrel in and it will work flawless but i would never trust shooting a gun with a loose barrel/chamber.
