MecGar makes 17rd 9mm mags. In case you don't know this they used to be or now still are the OEM manufacturer for Sig mags.

You don't have to get an exchange kit for that conversion. You only need to get a conversion barrel (barsto) and a recoil spring along with the mags which will take the 15 rounders. You only need an exchange kit when converting 9mm up to 40/357.

EFK 9mm conversion barrel
says OOS right now though. FYI you can run 9mm in your .40/.357 mags and the recoil spring change is up to you. Most guys just use the same one on SIgTalk |

Quote HistoryThey make great barrels. I have the same gun as you and bought a 9mm conversion barrel from them. Had no problems with it but there was a noticeable impact shift so in my case it wasn't something that could be easily switched back and forth. Not all guns will have it though so you never know until you try. I ended getting a 226 in 9mm rather than messing with the conversion. |

Was it significant enough that you couldn't correct by adjusting your sights??? |

Was it significant enough that you couldn't correct by adjusting your sights??? It was like 3" or so if I remember correctly. The shift was down and sigs fixed sights don't accommodate elevation changes. It was close enough for most work but I was planning on using it for USPSA so I needed it to be precise. I was much better off buying a dedicated gun. A casual shooter probably wouldn't care and like I said not everyone exhibits the shift. |

You can also just get a P228 slide (complete) and some mags and your are good to go. That is what I did and it has been great! No need to worry about sights. You will need to change the locking block which takes maybe 30 seconds.

Had the caliber change kits or top ends been available I definitely would have gone that route.
Oh well, you can never have too many guns right? |

It took twice as long as the quoted me. Was getting ready to cancel the order when they shipped it. I hope they have gotten better. |
