You know, I really don't want to be rude but you need to study up on how this happens, exactly, in a Glock. The breech face and extractor in the 10mm are close enough to being the same as the .40 that there is no danger in the round slipping out from under it. IF it did or IF for some reason it did not feed properly from the magazine, that would mean that the case head would be ahead of the extractor which means the striker would NOT reach the primer and it could NOT fire.
You likely don't know this but when you put a .40 conversion bbl in a Glock 10mm, you change NOTHING but the barrel. You use the same extractor, smae magazine, same recoil spring, same everything else.
