I know the frame is the same, but can I just swap uppers with no questions/problems?
Also is there a way to shoot .40 out of the 9mm upper? I have the .40 to 9mm conversion barrel. But can I just put the a G22 barrel in a G17 slide? I know it may all sound stupid to some, but I do have a reason for the questions. |

Quoted: I know the frame is the same, but can I just swap uppers with no questions/problems? Yes if they're both three pin. It is also advisable to swap the trigger mechanism housing (ejector) as well. Quoted: Also is there a way to shoot .40 out of the 9mm upper? I have the .40 to 9mm conversion barrel.

I have a 2nd gen G22 I don't care for the frame, but it was cheap, this is my main HD gun. The shop that I buy from all the time has a used rtf G17 for sale for really cheap. My aunty wants to pick up a glock and she likes the old smooth frame. So I was going to buy the g17 and just swap the slides, but she also wants to shoot .40.
So I'd have the RTF G17 frame with a G22 upper She would have my old G22 frame with a G17 upper, but no way to shoot .40... So I may just buy the gun anyway and sell my frame and the new slide. I do have a few rtfs, but they are safe queens and I have no intention to shoot them. I would keep every thing, but i'm on the verge of being broke since I've been introduced to guns. |

Summit Gun Broker gets in used G22 second gens quite often, so that could solve that problem for you.
