I don't think the standard barrel would work.
I got a Bar-Sto conversion barrel, (around $230) and a 9mm recoil spring, and made my .357 P239 into a 9mm. This was about ten years ago, and it has been a 9mm ever since. Runs like a top with .357 mags and I can get 8 rounds in 'em. Brass is easy to identify because the firing pin indentation is slightly offset, but never had a failure to fire. It is still laser accurate too. |

Two factory barrels, threaded and standard, work perfectly in my .40. I have over 1400 rounds of 9mm through the two of them combined and haven't had a failure of any kind. The only thing I swap is the 9mm barrel, everything else is .40.

Yes factory barrel is drop in. The .40 239 is a 3 caliber gun with just a barrel change. .40 mag works for all 3.

I tried it today. I only swapped the barrel, everything else was the original 357s parts, including the magazine. Worked fine.
I did have a problem with the slide not locking back on an empty magazine. I then put it back to 357s and had the same problem. I don't know what's going on assume it's a magazine problem. Happened with both magazines. Don't remember having a problem before |

If you want to try the whole 3 caliber thing CDNN has a pretty good deal on used .40 mags. I haven't bought any so don't know the actual condition but at that price it might be worth a try. https://www.cdnnsports.com/sig-239-40s-w-7rd-blk-factory-mag-used-ln-cond.html?___SID=U#.WIt9cjHFBZU |
