Anyone ever try converting a Glock 22 to 9mm?
I was recently considering an aftermarket barrel for my Glock, just to allow the use of lead ammo. Anyway, I ran across a Lone Wolf barrel that claims it can be used to convert a G22 to 9mm, and I'm a bit intrigued (given ammo costs and all, plus my desire to pick up a 9mm for cheap shooting in the future):

Has anyone around here done this? If so, does it work well?
Also, can you switch out a standard factory barrel to accomplish this task, or is the Lone Wolf barrel of different dimensions?
(I'm honestly not sure if the slides on the Glock 22 and Glock 17 are the same size, or if the Lone Wolf barrel for this conversion has been adjusted to have the same outside diameter as the G22 barrel).
As a final question, do the recoil spring/guide rod assemblies need switched to accomplish such a caliber conversion (I believe both the G22 and G17 use the same weight spring, but I'm not positive about this)?
