ET,
That's the kind of info I was looking for.
So I have a ? about doing the conversion, If you swap between a 9mm and a 40 S&W, is the barrel the only thing that needs to be changed?
I would have thought that the magazines would be different too, and what about the recoil springs?
Also, it's not like I'm going bear hunting here. I am bowhunting for deer, in country where it's rare to even see a bear. I would have about as good a chance of seeing a mountain lion as a bear.
The only times I've been close to bears, I never knew they were there until they were long gone, but you just never know what could happen.
I guess it's more for piece of mind that I would have something to defend myself if the need arose than anything else.
I like the idea of being able to have the 9mm for plinking at the range and then have the power of the 40 when it's needed.
