I've been on gunbroker for a couple years but this is my first question. I have a glock 23 and get mixed reviews about the 9mm conversion barrels. If you can shed some light on this subject I would be greatful. But my real question is why on earth would people pay 3 or 4 hundred dollars for a used glock 19 slide and why are they so expensive? Why not get the whole gun? I see used glocks of all models go for less than that less than that everyday? Help me Obi Wan

If you buy one of the 9mm conversion barrels for the G 23, I would only use it for practice and plinking with relatively inexpensive white box FMJ ammo.
Glock 19 Slide assemblies are more rare.
I was watching this auction for a Glock 19 slide assy. It sold for $465

I decided to buy this complete G19 instead:

I posted a similar topic on another board here awhile back about converting 40sw Glocks to 9mm:

This response seems to make the most sense:
"Just using a conversion barrel and 9mm mags will work for a range toy, and some people claim that only doing this results in their guns running 100%. That is not my experience. I've converted Gen3 G27s, G23s, and G22s to 9mm, and when only using a conversion barrel and 9mm mags they were probably 98% reliable. I'd consistently get several FTExtract or FTEject out of a case of ammo. When I changed the extractor and ejector to the proper 9mm versions, these guns all run 100%. In fact, I and two people close to me carry these converted Glocks every day.
Bottom line - conversion barrel and mags will get you a good range toy that **might** be OK for carry. I don't like the word **might** to be associated with my EDC, so I change the extractor and ejector."
QUESTION?
When you replace the 40 caliber extractor and ejector with the 9mm ones. How does affect function with 40 S & W ammo?

I would guess you can no longer shoot 40sw.
