Edit : Sorry about the double info Crit, I didn't see your post

I was under the impression you could get a .357 -=> .40 conversion as well?

FYI there is one listed in the for sale section of the forum as well.

Cheers

You are correct, I'm not sure if the slides are interchangable between the 357 and 40, but EFK makes the following conversions: 40 to 9mm, 40 to 357, 357 to 9mm, and 357 to 40

External dimensions of a .40 barrel are thicker than those of a 9mm, so get the .40 and buy a 9mm barrel for it.

That's what I did ).

with the conversion barrels, how about the magazines?

lets say I buy a .40, can I load 357 or 9mm in those mags? did some post mentioned yes but the last round jams or something?

can one do the same thing with a Glock? Sigs? eg barrels and magazines

I know this is a XD forum, but I'm sure I'll get unbiased opinions

Oh yeah, dude, you can totally load your 40 mags with 9mm and 357. It's rad.

Seriously, though, a 40 mag has the lips at the top pulled in just a hair tighter than the others. If you can't feed from the 40 mag, a little tugging with pliers will have you set up. Most don't require any modification, though.

EFK Fire Dragon makes barrels for all of these too.
