Are all three barrels interchangable. The 9mm, 40s&w and the 357 sig. Or, Is only the 40 and the 357 interchangable. Thanks

    Hey guy's I just bought a Sig 229 with nightsights, I finally took it out of the case when I got home, I was working the slide back, using the decocker, and dry firing it. Its like everytime I pull the trigger the hammer doesn't actually come in contact with the striker I haven't tried firing any live ammo as of yet, but it looks like it's sitting 2-3mm off of the striker itself. So I'm not entirely sure if it is actually hitting the striker or not. Sorry if this is a no brainer, this is my first Sig so I figured I would be better off asking kind of a nooby question then holding off on asking. As always input is GREATLY appreciated!!

    In order to use 9mm you'd have to change the whole slide assembly, cause the base of the case is smaller than that of the .40 and the extractor wouldn't grab.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.
