I love the idea of having more options in terms of ammunition, and this conversion barrel seems like a must-try for anyone looking to get the most out of their Glock
I’ve had one of these on my 27 for years now and it’s been great! The recoil is much lighter, with the addition of the tungsten guide rod and the +5 mag extensions, I had a slightly thicker 43x well before Glock made them, and never felt much need to change anything….. but the trash Glock sights to the Trijicon bright and tough, which have recently been added. Thanks Lenny!!!
My first Glock was a Glock 23 (bought from your store, btw). I wanted a Glock 19, but there wasn’t a blue label available in the inventory. Your sales person convinced me if I wanted a 9mm just to buy the Glock 23 that was in stock, and buy a 9mm conversion barrel. I’m so glad I did, as I now have capability to shoot either caliber just by changing out the barrel. This is absolutely the cheapest way to have two Glocks. I’ve enjoyed this concept so much that I bought a Glock 22, and have a conversion barrel in that one as well. If I ever wanted to shoot .357 sig, there’s a conversion barrel for the Glock 22 and Glock 23 in .357 sig as well.
@@E52O4I did the same but with the 357sig conversion first, then the 9mm also. Love that I can shoot 3 diff calibers out of the same frame and slide, and only have to change barrels and mags (just for the 9mm - 357sig uses same mag as 40sw). Run same recoil springs and ejectors work just fine on all three. LOVE IT!!!
You can also buy a 357 sig conversion barrel. Along with the 22 conversion upper, you now four, yes, four different calibers to choose from in one gun. What a variety. Yes you have to use a 22 magazine and a nine magazine, but you can use the 40 magazines to shoot the 357sig. What a deal.😎😎😎😎
I like your email handle. It says it all. The preference of which caliber to carry is the caliber in the gun a person is carrying at that moment. Besides we carry a pistol in order to get to our rifle.@@opinionsvary
Lenny, I really appreciate all the knowledge you share and as a new Glock owner you’ve been so helpful. Now I wish that I had bought the 23 instead of the 19. Too bad they weren’t interchangeable the other way😁
I enjoy your videos and information. My Department uses the Gen 4 model 21 . I dont see many videos or such on the .45 caliber model 21 and seems to be very little in way of information on holsters and such for model 21’s . Just putting in some input. Keep up the good work
G21 is a big box of Wheaties! On the conversion barrel issue. I bought a 10mm barrel for my G21. Has always gone bang. Best calibur for a hunting side arm...stay safe out there in the concrete jungle. Retire myself. Great memories.
That has been an ongoing issue of debate for a long time. My personal experience is no need to change it. I've done this conversion and never switch it out, and it has worked flawlessly for several years. Could there ever be a related malfunction? Yes. Then again, converting ANY firearm to anything other than what it was manufactured for can certainly result in issues.
You lose the cross comparability once you get a Gen 5 Glock 23 .40 S&W correct? The frame is no longer the same as the 19 it’s a little wider. I could be wrong
@@davva360 I converted my 27 to a 26. It's been one of my CCW for several years. I carried the 22 and 17 as work pistols for many years (mostly the 22). I'll be honest ... I'm a Glock fanboy. lol
Not sure about the G23, but the G27 can accept the G33 barrel which is 357sig. I would imagine a G32 barrel would work for the G23 but I would call Glockstore and ask.
I got the 9mm conversion barrel with the sepperate magazines. But I also have a replacement .22 caliber slide "upper". So I can shoot .40 cal, 9mm and .22 call from the same gun. I hear you can also get a .357 cal. Sig replacement barrel but I won't be getting that one. Ammo is too expensive
Lenny……I’m a bit concerned about the extractor. Is the barrel chamber off set to address the extractor for the 40 or is best to replace the with a G26 9mm extractor.
It's called a "recoil spring assembly" on Glocks part list because it's what's considered a captured recoil spring and guide rod meaning one complete unit.
I have a couple of dozen Glock handguns. I have fairly severe arthritis. Is there a way to make it easier to pull down the release to remove the slide? It's terribly difficult for me to pull both sides equally to get the slide free Thank you.
Does this conversion barrel have any markings on the sides? I'd really like a silver conversion barrel with zero markings on it such as no double diamond logo or any text
I bought A Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for my Glock gen 4 23 . When I tried loading Hornady 147 grain ammo it locked up the slide . I could not rack the ammo out of the gun . I found out that 147 ammo is too long for the barrel and locks everthing up .
I wonder if yall could do the same thing for 10mm?. The Glock model 40 I have is great because you can shoot .40 cal for cheaper than 10mm... but a conversion to 9mm would be even less expensive.
That is the first time ive seen live ammo in the room as Lenny works. He always says there is no live ammo in the room to avoid an accident. Anyone else notice that?
It is not worth the trouble to use the .40 cal. magazine. Buy the 9mm magazine and be confident it will not jam. Also you should also buy the 9mm extractor to be sure the gun will smoothly operate as a 9mm.
I actually forgot my 9mm magazines after putting the 9mm conversion barrel in. I was already at the range and went ahead and loaded 9mm in my 40 caliber magazines. It worked! No malfunctions! Cannot recommend that however though.😊
Sorry this is has nothing to do with this video but wondering if someone can help me out. Can I put a Glock 49 slide on a Glock 45 frame and put the Glock 45 slide on the Glock 49 frame?. Basically I already have two Glock 45s and I would like to make myself a Glock 19 MOS and a Glock 17 MOS by combining one of the 45s with the parts from the 49.

I've been using a double diamond conversion barrel in my g23 for years. Flawless and accurate. Shoots like a tack hammer.
Do they make one for a Glock 23? Or just for the 17?
You can get one for the G23 to shoot 9mm. The G17 is already 9mm. You can go from 40S&W to 9mm but not the other way around.

I had to change the recoil spring in my G23 to get it to function correctly even with a 9mm G19 mag. Once I did, it worked great even with G23 mags.
Definitely interested to see these tested. I always thought you would have to change the extractor as well

So are the groves inside the barrel different from the two barriers.
After seeing the LIVE "40 Cal" Round, why would you want a smallish 9mm? I think you should talk us into a "Barsto" barrel instead. Great content.
I bought my Glock 23 in 1991, is there a conversion barrel for mine?
Anyone know about Sig 357? Is there a .357 Sig conversion? Is there a drop in barrel for the Glock 23? I have the 9mm drop in already.
Not sure about the G23, but the G27 can accept the G33 barrel which is 357sig. I would imagine a G32 barrel would work for the G23 but I would call Glockstore and ask.
Can you shoot 357sig out of this barrel for the g22/g23 or would you need separate 357 sig barrel?
You will need a separate .357 Sig barrel.
.357 SIG is a bottlenecked cartridge, it won't fit the chamber. You will need a different barrel.
Thank you for the responses.
I'm afraid to assume but, will this conversion barrel work for Gen 1 and Gen 2 G23s?

Can you run a conversation barrel for glock 23 in glock 27?
what about the recoil spring ??
Any problems using the 40 cal. extractor with the 9 mm round or any problems using the 40 cal ejector?
Lenny……I’m a bit concerned about the extractor. Is the barrel chamber off set to address the extractor for the 40 or is best to replace the with a G26 9mm extractor.
Do you make a 10mm to fit a a glock mod 30.
Do you make a longer barrel for a glock 30 , for hunting
GEN 5!!!! Let's go!!! My gen 5 22 is my favorite gun I own. I cannot wait.
Is the tension on the guide rod for a 40 caliber different than a guide rod for a 9mm? I noticed that you used the same guide rod.
It's called a "recoil spring assembly" on Glocks part list because it's what's considered a captured recoil spring and guide rod meaning one complete unit.
I don’t think it would matter as you are going from.40 down to 9. As long as you aren’t shooting really weak 9mm ammo
he was talking about the spring weight [ tension ] christ you dumb@@patbrown463

I have tired 9mm in a extended 40 does not feed right. On mine the 9mm sits lower and jams until the round 10.
@@beckderm yeah the plastic piece in the extended mag is to different for the bullets to feed right.
Can u put a G17 complete slide with barrel on a G22 frame? Asking for a friend lol
How much for a glock 27 conversion barrel to 9mm? How about the mags, should I buy glock 9mm mags as well?
You have one from 45 gap to 9mm?
Does this conversion barrel have any markings on the sides? I'd really like a silver conversion barrel with zero markings on it such as no double diamond logo or any text
Yes, There are markings. Our Double Diamond Logo as well as text on the top ".40 - 9mm"
Is there a 10mm auto conversion barrel for a G22 ?
