I've been toying with the idea of getting a low cost plinker/range gun to take advantage of the low 9mm ammo costs. Saw on another thread where it was suggested that a 9mm barrel could be placed into the 229, but I didn't want to threadjack with followup questions there.
Is it as simple as purchasing a 9mm barrel (and probably a recoil spring) for the 229 and dropping it in, or will there likely be some fitting involved? Any other parts required to do the job? If this is any more difficult than a drop in, I'll probably buy a Ruger or used S&W (something under $300) and leave the SIG as is.
