Converting a Glock 23 to 9mm?

[GMack_1]

I can't remember where I read it, but someone on this board mentioned that I can convert my G23 from .40 to 9mm with a simple barrel change? Is that all there is to it, or is there more?..., Like a trigger change as well?

I already own a G17, and I love it. Would love a G19, but since I already own the G23..., maybe I backed into a very good thing without knowing it at the time?

I know this has been discussed before, so is anyone has a simple link to earlier posts..., I'd appreciate.

Go Colts..., hope they don't rely on half-back passes to beat the Texans...

Conversion barrel and mags will do. I've also seen people swap to the 9mm extractor too, but have no idea if that's necessary.

And with Peyton as my fantasy QB, he better pick it up!

Yea I have a 23c and have a conversion barrel from lone wolf distributers. it was like $99.. not treaded or ported. I actually think the ss barrel looks pretty good in the slots on the top of my slide for the factory porting. no other mods are needed 100% drop in def the way to go get two pistol calibers for the price of one + 100 bucks.

btw 40 mags will work with 9mm in a pinch but i mostly use a factory glock 19 mag.

Despite the simplicity of this solution, I did not even consider it until now.
This just made my day.

I have the Lone Wolf conversion barrel as well (no porting or thread) and it's worked great. I also use a Glock 19, 15 round magazine. Happy shooting!

Yep just a barrel and mags

I have a g27 that has a 357 sig barrel and all I do is swap barrels.

its really convenient!! out of a 40s&w glock you can get a 9mm barrel and 357 sig!

I don't see it clarified in the original post, but ONLY DO THIS FOR RANGE PURPOSES. Even with an extractor change, the breechface on the .40 is a bit larger, and can lead to FTE/ Double feeds. I have a 9mm barrel that I use for my 23, and it does work rather well, but only for range duty. If you want to carry with 9mm, you can get a 19 upper and change out the ejector. The recent 23 & 19 frames are identical if I remember correctly.
