A while ago I saw a post stating that a Glock 22 (.40 cal) can fire 9mm simply by replacing the barrel and mags. Mark at Questar told me that I need only install a conversion barrel and the .40 mags will work for 9mm. Well, I just returned from the range to report that the $179.99 Lone Wolf barrel worked great and the mags all fed with no problems. I like my Glock even more than before.
Thanks, Mark!
 
Glock's mag has high tolerance. I remember one time shooting IPSC using my Glock 22 but accidentally pick a 9mm mag among the other .40 mags. I didn't notice that until the end of the game. Then, I know why I can't put the tenth round in for "this" mag.
I had a Lone Wolf conversion barrel from Questar too. Just can't cycle well with my own reload 9mm. Factory ammo has no issue at all.
 
I'm glad it worked. I was under the impression you also had to change the ejector as well as the barrel as the .40 and 9mm ones differ. You had no problems with that?

I was using reloads without any trouble. I think the issue may be tailoring ammo to a particular gun. I have a 9mm Para with a match barrel which will not feed the same ammo the Glock ate today. OAL, bullet profile and seating depth all play a part.
