I have a p226 in 40S&W, I know I can swap out the barrel to a 357 sig, and use the same magazines... can i also go from 40 to 9mm??? I know I wil have to use different magazines, but will there be any problems with the extractor or anything else?

You shouldn't have to replace the extractor or anything like that. I've heard that changing out your recoil spring is a good idea, though. Probably not necessary, but if you want to carry it like that I would do it.

I know with XD/Glock platforms you can switch from 40 -> 9 or 357 without much hassle (usually just mags).

Here is a thread that talks about it a little.

thank you, that is everything I needed to know! I will not be using it as a carry weapon, but i would like some cheeper ammo for range time.
