    Anyone done a Glock barrel switch, G19 in a G23?

    I have a 3rd Gen G23 and thought it would be nice to have the option of going 9mm with a barrel and magazines.

    Anything special to look for in doing the swap, like recoil spring?

    What barrel to buy, don't need a threaded one. Seems like a used factory G19 barrel is what I would want, or maybe aftermarket.

    Appreciate the help from anyone that has done this.

    Thanks

    Buy a 9mm bbl and some mags, and you're GTG. I had that setup w no issues.

    It needs to be a conversion barrel not a stock one

    Guess I better research "conversion" barrels.

    It is my one and only G-Lock.....and I would appreciate it, if you could keep that on the "down low".

    Looks like the Lone Wolf LWD-239N is out of stock right now. Can't beat $99.95 w/free shipping!

    I did something similar, put a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel into a G23, worked without hiccup. I've heard of some people even using the same mags with some success but with how cheap the Magpul mags are, it's worth getting the dedicated 9mm mags.

    Don't forget the 357 sig. Just a barrel change ( can be stock ) and you can use the same .40 mags
