I've gone and done it now. Just got my g19 threaded barrel in from LWD. Pretty nice, and it's completely concentric with my SWR Trident 9 silencer. I could not be more pleased. But the real story begins. Reading the LWD catalog I find I can change my G23 to 9mm  I read a bit more and find I can convert my G30 also So with my G19, G23 and G30 I can shoot .380acp, 9mm, 357sig, .40S&W, .45acp, 400 corbon and 40 super. I'm shocked I tell you. I had heard about cal conversions, but never really tried until I had a spare 9mm barrel lying around

Someone at LWD must have had a glaucoma flair up and been smokin' to many meds that day. You can't do 380 in a Glock unless you want a single shot. The 380 is a semi-blow back and does not have enough poo to push the standard slide back so it will cycle. ETA:
DON'T use a standard 9mm barrel in a 40 caliber gun. The barrel OD is smaller and you could damage the gun.

Yeah, I kinda got a little too excited just reading the catalog. I installed the bbl and noticed something was off. Closer inspection found just what you stated. The OD of the OEM barrel is smaller than the ID of the OEM G23 slide, by several 1/100's. I also found the ejector waaaay too short. Oh well, still pretty cool I can get, essentially, a new gun/caliber for <200  |
