Speaking of that Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel, I now have 250 flawless rounds through my former 40c and am thoroughly impressed. It has helped persuade a couple friends to look at the M&P, and I'm even thinking about a full size. I still like the .40 for carry, but the 9mm is a great shooter.
On the barrel swap issue, it's actually easier to get ahold of a .40 barrel than the .357, of which the only supplier I've found is S&W. If I could only swap it to .45 I'd have a full set in one gun.
