Thanks caleb!


Sorry let me clear it up i have ordered the 24 slide its in 40. So i CAN buy conversions to 9mm and 357 sig. I hope this makes more sense.

Here you go


LWD 9mm conversion barrels will allow you to shoot 9mm ammunition from your Glock 40 S&W or 357 Sig handgun. These conversion barrels are easy to use and install the same as any other barrel, simply drop it in, no gunsmithing or other modifications are required. We do recommend you use the correct 9mm magazine with these conversion barrels to guarantee reliable feeding.


About 1% of our 9mm conversion barrels are affected by the poor performance of low powered 115 grain ammunition causing a Failure To Eject (FTE). A good example of ammunition that is “most likely to fail” is Winchester White Box (WWB). This rare failure is too low a percentage to make an issue, however it is one we are well aware of. The fix to resolve this issue is quite simple:

1 Clean and lube your slide and barrel.
2 Shoot 1 mag to 1 box of good quality +P or +P+ ammunition through the barrel.
3 Try the FTF ammunition again. If it runs... great! If you experience more failures you will have a couple choices to make:
Fix A Reduce the recoil spring weight to 11 lbs. Cost is about $25 for stainless steel guide rod and reduced power spring. See guiderods here.
Fix B Shoot 124 gr or a better quality 115 gr ammunition exclusively. The FTF 115 gr ammunition you are currently using is no longer a valid option.

What causes this problem? Several issues come into play.
1 The 40 slide and (40 conversion) barrel are thicker than standard 9mm slides and barrels. This extra thickness equates to more weight. The combined extra weight taps the energy of the "weak 115 gr ammunition” to its complete demise. It simply lacks in power and fails to reliably eject the spent round.
2 Every once in awhile a Failure To Feed/Failure To Eject (FTF/FTE) is caused by a fit issue. We resolve fit issues by pumping +P or +P+ ammunition through the gun. This hot ammunition provides extra pressure and the pressure will positively align any and all components. Once they are all aligned there is no longer a fit issue. The FTF/FTE is usually resolved.

FYI: Several manufactures are currently producing low powered 115 gr 9mm loads. This ammunition is also known to produce failures in all standard model Glock 9mm pistols.


Please note: To convert any .40 caliber gun to .357 or vise versa you don't need a "conversion", just purchase the barrel to the corresponding Glock model.

Don't forget to buy the proper magazines for your conversions.

For converting your Model 27, 33, 23, 32, 22, and 31 to 9mm :
9mm Model 27,33 9mm Model 23,32 9mm Model 22,31
Glock OEM Glock OEM Glock OEM

Yep.....a $100 barrel and a mag or two and I will be able to shoot 9mm do it twice and I can shoot 357 sig.

BUT I have to finish the first one...

Those WMD slides are price fairly. I was looking at the ones with laser engraving and the milled out ones. Pretty cool designs. Barrels are $100+/-, and coatings around $180. I might have to build one myself.

A guy from IL I think I will have to check but very fast. Had it in three days from purchase. You have lots of options there, some have internals some striped...lots of choices there.

You can also buy a LW lower in the G19 or G17 size soon they will also have a larger size
