I've been on gunbroker for a couple years but this is my first question. I have a glock 23 and get mixed reviews about the 9mm conversion barrels. If you can shed some light on this subject I would be greatful. But my real question is why on earth would people pay 3 or 4 hundred dollars for a used glock 19 slide and why are they so expensive? Why not get the whole gun? I see used glocks of all models go for less than that less than that everyday? Help me Obi Wan

  I have a 9mm Lone Wolf conversion barrel for a G 27. Although it's fairly reliable using G 26 mags, it will jam every once in awhile. It seems that blunt nose hollow points are the ones it chokes on.
  
  If you buy one of the 9mm conversion barrels for the G 23, I would only use it for practice and plinking with relatively inexpensive white box FMJ ammo.

  There are a ton of Glock 19 frames for sale on the auction side.
  Glock 19 Slide assemblies are more rare.
  
  I was watching this auction for a Glock 19 slide assy. It sold for $465
  http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=259936869
  
  
  I decided to buy this complete G19 instead:

  I posted a similar topic on another board here awhile back about converting 40sw Glocks to 9mm:
  
  http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_13/116364_What_all_would_I_need_to_convert_a_40_cal_Glock_to_a_9mm_.html
  
  This response seems to make the most sense:
  
  "Just using a conversion barrel and 9mm mags will work for a range toy, and some people claim that only doing this results in their guns running 100%. That is not my experience. I've converted Gen3 G27s, G23s, and G22s to 9mm, and when only using a conversion barrel and 9mm mags they were probably 98% reliable. I'd consistently get several FTExtract or FTEject out of a case of ammo. When I changed the extractor and ejector to the proper 9mm versions, these guns all run 100%. In fact, I and two people close to me carry these converted Glocks every day.
  
  Bottom line - conversion barrel and mags will get you a good range toy that **might** be OK for carry. I don't like the word **might** to be associated with my EDC, so I change the extractor and ejector."

  QUESTION?
  
  When you replace the 40 caliber extractor and ejector with the 9mm ones. How does affect function with 40 S & W ammo?

  I would guess you can no longer shoot 40sw.
