I purchased a 4.25" 9mm barrel from Midway in September and have over 600 trouble free and accurate rounds of 9mm ammo through my FS .40 using the 9mm barrel and mags. So I am not a stranger to the conversion. Thank you for your encouragement. Even thoough it happened a whiile ago, I'm still a little reluctant to talk too much about it since, on a different forum, I got toasted (as in flamed) for advocating such a dangerous procedure. Claiming incidences of catastrophic failure and user injury (but no facts to back it up), they condemned me for suggesting that it was OK to use a factory, non conversion barrel. I have searched for catastrophic failures in M&P's and found only one which stemmed from an over-zealous application of a dremel tool, but no barrel induced failures (9mm in a .40 slide).
