I own (2) SigSauer P226 pistols - 1 in 9mm, the other in .40 S&W / .357 Sig.
I want to be able to shoot all 3 calibers without having to take both pistols. I regularly switch between .357 Sig & .40 S&W. I know that I can't drop the factory 9pm barrel into the .40 slide. However, is it possible to transplant my 9mm barrel/slide assembly onto the .40 S&W frame, and use the factory 9mm magazine?
Or, is the only way to pill this off to use the Bar-Sto 9mm conversion barrel?
