Changing calibers Glock

I was listening to an episode of reload radio today and they said to change calibers in a G 22 all you have to do was change barrels. Is this true for particular calibers?

I have used an aftermarket barrel from Germany in 9 x 19 in my Glock 22 for years. The only other thing I changed were the mags. I believe there are some other switches you can do but this is the only one I have done. Works very well, never been an issue.

For your G22 just get a 40-9 conversion barrel. You can use the .40 mags but the G17 mags would be better.

I have a Glock 22 and it came with a ported wolfe 9mm barrell and yes its just a drop in and go, you can use the 22 mags for the 9mm but they are sloppy, better off to get a 17 mag than no fuss at all,

Decent!!!

I totally agree. I tried it with the .40 mags and there were issues. For what it cost it was well worth it to get the 9mm mags.

Agree! I switch out the barrel and use the same mags every time I go to the range, never an issue.

Where to find these 40-9 barrels? I am on stinking smart phone And my fingers are too big. I'll start with Wolverine.

Questar for barrels

Might be a stupid question, but can the reverse be done?

Convert a G17 9mm to a 40s&w. Frames look to be about the same.

 

[Can-down]

Only 40 down to 9. The ejector are different and the outside dimensions of the stock barrels are not the same.... The conversion barrel is made thicker to match the .40

This works for 40 cal to .357 sig if you were to get a 31 barrel,you could drop it in a 22 and shoot .357 sig all day long....the mags are both interchangeable as well.

I have a lone wolf 9mm conversion barrel for my glock 22 gen4 and use it more than factory barrel. I also run 9mm mags and recoil spring.
