You're right, the posts here seem to clamor for excessively harsh punishment for an administrative type "offense." . I remember being on a leave from military service from a hostile fire zone and could not legally purchase beer, cigs or pistol ammo in my home state because I wasn't 21. But it...

Given that Corvette convertibles aren't popular (as only a miniscule market segment has ever caused production by Chevrolette) any reasons offered for why they ARE popular trump any reason why they should NOT be popular. "I think, therefore I am." I don't think irrationally, therefore I am not."

Speed loaders are way slower than moon clips. Watch Jerry Miculek's moon clip reload video and you'll see that for yourself that Jerry prefers moon clips. Moon clips in 9mms and 45 ACPs are functionally superior to speed loaders used in traditional revolver calibers, end of story.

nicely stated alternety. you're eloquence itself!

Tinker: I'm tinking like you and Hickok45 about keeping things stock. Really, I'd sooner just get the glock in 9mm than to convert my .40. Though it has been interesting to ready all the comments on it and you're right, I did sorta delve into it pretty far. And btw: Hickok45's glock 27 at...

Vetting out a clarification concerning a mechanical function, especially after reading so many different opines about it, is a fun pursuit but I'm hardly "obsessed." Thanks nonetheless for your testimonial, added to the gazzillions, regarding glock durability. If and when Hickok45 posts a...

". . . It seems pretty clear that the Glock design is fairly robust and flexible. . . " Robust and flexible is a problem for someone more interested in precision and reliability. Either there is or is not a precision point of contact between the extractor claw and the shell case when firing...

Hentown: your thinking on this certainly makes most sense, especially since 2 actual barrel manufacturers have responded to my question that the barrels are NOT made off center. However, apparently, this matter has not been laid to rest elsewhere. Here's a quote of what's is being posted on...

Here's a link to product review on Lone Wolf barrels. Note the quote (below) excerpted from that review: http://www.concealednation.org/2013/10/review-lone-wolf-40-9-conversion-barrel-for-glock-27/ "With this conversion barrel, the loading side of the barrel is off-centered a hair so that the...

UPDATE: KKM has courteously replied to my question on this, stating that extractor change is not necessary and, that there is no "offset" in the manufacture of the conversion bbls. Similarly, Lonewolf rep. replied that changing out the extractor is not necessary but would be fine if the...

rbernie: you post interesting information here that the mere 1mm extractor specs pose no practical problems mechanically. What you post appears accurate from all I have gathered on this topic. In a related matter, even the Sig Sauer P239/P229 extractors for their .40/357Sig AND 9mms are shown...

spring loaded bearing Thanks hentown and others here for relaying your experiences about conversion bbls. Swapping out the extractor is simple and easy enough but whether it's worth it remains unclear ... as I wait to get a reply from aftermarket barrel manufacturers on this. Meanwhile...

Glock conversion barrel Hentown, your premise that the chamber itself isn't "offset" is correct. My phrasing is what's offset here (lol!). Let me correct myself to say that the chamber block, not the chamber is what's milled for the .40 cal. extractor (or, maybe it is not, that's what I'm...

Glock armorers HELP! Glock "40 to 9" conversion barrels that enable shooting 9mm ammo from a .40 caliber Glock, typically made by Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, Bar-Sto, KKM, etc., are said to require only a barrel swap and a 9mm magazine to shoot reliably. However, some have said that the extractor...

Wow! . . .awesome carbine conversion. Thanks for pics. This is a Mechtech unit I presume?

duplicate/disregard

I read most of the comments on this thread initiated over a year ago and must say, I agree with Weblance's premise entirely. It seemed odd why production had ceased on the venerable little SP101 in 9mm. From what I gather (and contrary to the conjecture on this thread), production had commenced...
