I guess, dah!

dah was the key word. I was being facetious in my statement to the comments:

I made that comment because you were bumping your own thread after only a few hours from your previous comment. Given that the thread didn't escalate that much I'd say I wasn't overly far off (357 SIG certainly has fans but it's not typically a huge draw).

Note: this isn't me saying you didn't have the right to make a thread or that I'm some authority on what topics are worth discussing, because I'm not. This is me saying to have patience.

I have really been looking into trying this option for a carry gun.

I really liked my Shield 9 and have been looking for a deal on a .40 caliber to convert.

The only thing keeping me from moving forward is that I am considering going a different route all together with my main carry set up.

I have recently gained access to several different semi auto pistols to try out so it might take a while for me to decide.

As far as I know 9 to 40 does not work. If you want a convertable shield, you have to buy the 40 and either convert it to 9 or 357 sig. I have a shield 2.0 PC that I got the 357 sig ported barrel for. It’s snappy but I love it and carry it everyday.
