Starting a new thread….but this is related to the thread on the new P226 I acquired in .40 S&W.
I thought that in order to convert it to 9mm I would need a 9mm slide and factory barrel OR at minimum a conversion barrel. New springs and mags are a given of course. But I’m reading all kinds of posts on other forums of guys just dropping in a factory 9mm barrel or a Silencerco threaded barrel and hitting the range. That doesn’t sound right. Doesn’t the slide for the .40/.357 P226 have different dimensions and weight? It might run with just a factory barrel but I’d think that wouldn’t be good for the gun long term or give accuracy problems and reliability issues.
Can any of you guys with more experience with this platform weigh in?
Appreciate it in advance!
