I'm looking at one to convert my Colt Super .38 to a 9x19. The general idea is to get in cheap range practice with a full power round (sort of) that's cheaper than the .38 Super stuff. (Yes, I reload, but I can buy 9mm nearly as cheap as I can load, plus it's easier and I don't have to chase brass.)
On a similar note, has anyone performed such a conversion, and how did it work?

Yes I have done this type of conversion.
You may need to tweak your extractor a little and change or tune the ejector thats in the gun.
Your recoil spring should be fine if you are shooting full power 9mm loads.
I've also had very good results using 38 super mags to feed 9mm ammo.
