I did have a 357 SIG barrel and it worked great but the ammo is to costly so I sold the 357 and bought the 9MM instead....much cheaper.
Today my M&P9 barrel showed up from Midway and hopefully will try it out tomorrow in my M&P40. These M&P's are so modular...thanks S&W.

Man I wish you kept it and emailed me, I would have bought it and gave you a profit, they are sold out again at midway, I didn't catch this thread... :( |

Got the 9mm barrel from midway and I am just trying to install it in my 40.
The barrel is too wide at the muzzle to fit in the slide. Any fix? or did S&W figure out how to beat us? |

Hmm....that's a new wrinkle. Can you measure the width of the muzzle? Ok Got some measurements. Original 40 barrel at the muzzle 0.565" 9mm Barrel at the muzzle 0.572" Muzzle hole in the slide 0.570" Is the 9mm barrel's coating too thick? Are my original slide and barrel within spec? |

I have a M&P 9 FS and 40 FS. I purchased the 9 in February and the 40 3 days ago, both new. The 9 barrel fits in the 40 no problem and i can rack the slide and seems to be a very good fit, while completely returning to battery. I have not tried firing it in this configuration so something may be out of spec, but I thought I would share since both are from factory.

Did I get one just slightly out of spec? |

From what i can see there is definitely a ridge starting 1/2 and inch or so from the muzzle that is more pronounced in your barrel than in my 9mm. I would send it back to midway. My guns are more new so i assume they have relatively new barrels that would reflect current factory standards (even though my 9mm front dovetail is out of spec
 ). Of course I am just speculating |

So I don't know whether this was a good idea or not, but I decided to grind down the finish on the barrel.
It now fits well and hand cycles perfectly. Is it safe to shoot? Do I need to put some kind of finish on the barrel or just take care of it to make sure it doesn't rust?  |

Put some touch up bluing on there to protect the metal. |

I bought a factory 9mm barrel from midway. My .40 mags will cycle all 9mm rounds without any problems. I did get some dedicated 9mm mags anyways.

Will a 40 slide, barrel and recoil spring fit onto a 9mm frame and function the same? Curious if all M&P 9/40 lower assemblies are the same. . .
