Converting a M&P40C to 9mm. Factory barrel?

[darkjedi351]

I call BS. Where's the proof?

it's true for the shield. you can buy fullsize factory barrels all day long

Not just full size. Compact barrels have been confirmed to work.

I have a Storm Lake 9mm barrel for my 40 & have had 3 FTFs in my last trip to the range. No problems the first 2 trips.

factory 9 with full size 40 here... no problems.

Boatloads of reports all over the Internet of people using factory 9 barrel in 40 frame.

i guess ill try my factory 9 barrel in my full size 40

I too had issues before with using conversion barrels, not particularly in the m&p but other brand pistols

Smith and wesson now wont sell barrels or slides to you because too many issues happen when barrel swapping.

i also read 1 or 2 other people say this on the internet. if it is true, obviously the idiots who screwed up their gun did something totally stupid and sent it back to s&w has ruined it for the rest of us. But there are too many success rates of people using factory 9mm barrels in their 40sw pistol vs conversion barrels.

The storm lake barrels can be tighter and more problematic. SL has a disclaimer about 115gr ammo as well.

The factory barrels are pretty lax about ammo, intentionally.

I had one stove pipe with cheapo 115gr, shot about 150 of them. Ran 300 123gr nato just fine.

I didn't see the disclaimer of 115gr but thanks for that info. Going to keep a lookout for factory 9mm barrel.

i think s&w told vendors not to sell it anymore. its impossible to find one, unless you find it in the classified here

I got that from the horses mouth when I called smith and wesson. So give them a call and you will get the same response. Have a merry Christmas.
