If a person registers a hand gun - and after doing so they get an interchangable barrel of different calibre for the same frame. Do you have to re register the firearm?
No. I assume you're swapping out the barrels at the range and then put the original back in the gun.

I have seen some people on here get all worried about transporting their pistols with the different calibre slide installed, as they could be caught with an ‘un-registered’ hand-gun. You know, because the information on the Registration Certificate no longer matches.
Besides the incredibly small possibility that anyone will be scrutinizing your pistol and its Certificate that closely while it's out of the house, the regulations allow for such non-permanent modifications.
If you feel like having a silent and in-effective protest, put a calibre kit on a pistol and leave it in your safe for 31 days: you have now broken the law. Pretty sure you're going straight to heck at that point.
