advantages of a beretta 96d frame with a 9mm convetsion?

[xSARSx]

Ive seen a couple of ppl who done the conversion but are there any advantages from the 96d frame from just a 92fs? I think the extractor is different from those two. Have anyone had any ftf, fte from the 96d with 9mm conversion?

Here's the gospel from the Beretta forum.

It's spot on BTW. Good Luck.

92/96 - Aside from changing the entire upper, the only caliber changes normally made to the 92/96 is from .40S&W to 9mm. So long as the 9mm barrel fits and functions properly in the 96 frame, it's a pretty simple conversion. There is a possibility that the extractor may not pull every spent cartridge from the chamber every time, so without changing the extractor, there is a higher reliability risk involved. Even with the 9mm extractor installed, it is still possible for malfunction since the breech face is larger and can allow the cartridge to seat improperly against it. For all intents and purposes, the 92 cannot be converted to .40S&W or .357Sig.
