Do I need to change anything out aside from the barrel, magazine, and extractor in order to convert a G35 to 9mm?

ETA:  A friend doesn't think it's even necessary to change the extractor, but this doesn't seem right.  A 9mm case looks substantially smaller in diameter than a .40 case...

If you use the Lonewolf 40-9 Conversion Barrel, you don't need to change the extractor or ejector.  If you drop in a stock G34 barrel you do.  I am like 99% sure on this, but I think Vin and couple others will be along shortly to confirm this.

Interesting.  How does the Lone Wolf conversion barrel negate the need to change out the extractor?  Or, along the same lines, why does the G34 necessitate the 9mm extractor?

A Glock 35's barrels's outside diameter (it's larger) is different than a Glock 34's so you can't put a 34 barrel into a 35's slide.  A 9mm conversion barrel, like LWD's, replicates the Glock 35's outside diameter.  As far as the extractor, I would not change it out unless you planned to use the gun in 9mm for anything other than range use.  I have never had any issues using the stock .40 extractor with my 9mm conversion barrel.  You will need 9mm magazines.
