I think you can swap a .40 & .45 barrel but a 9mm stays a 9mm.

The 9 slide has a smaller barrel hole. Buy a 40 get a factory 357 barrel and a conversion 9 barrel. 45 is a different creature.

You can just barrel swap to use all three 9, .357Sig, and .40S&W. The .45 has it's own frame, slide and barrel, as the cartridge is much bigger than the other three. |

Just got a 40, looking to do the 9mm conversion also.
Get the 40 or 357 for sure. Can go down to a 9, but not up from a 9. |

I think I've put off the conversion long enough. I'm going to buy a conversion barrel soon as well. Is the Storm Lake the only one available? Is it also accurate?

All three of my barrels are factory S&W barrels. No "conversion" barrel is needed. Just get a 9mm barrel. I'm sure you might squeeze better accuracy out of a conversion barrel instead of a factory barrel, but I'm not that good of a shot to notice. |

Yeah, the only reason I was asking about the Storm Lake is because its the only one I can find in stock at the moment. I cannot find a factory S&W barrel. |
