Default Replacement Barrel for Shield 9mm/40cal???

I'm on the wait list and have prepaid at my LGS for the CA compliant Shield, with some luck it will release this month.

For my two 40compacts I have a 9mm stock barrel that I use at the range. I've heard people here mention doing this with the Shield. Where is the sorce for replacement barrels for the Shield? I got my compact barrels at Midway.

If I could get a 9mm barrel for the 40 Shield I would prefere to buy the 40. If there are no 9mm replacement barrels available I would probably opt for the 9mm Shield as I've never shot a 40 subcompact. I have no problem with the recoil on the 40 compact, how does the Shield compare? Thanks for any input.

I have a 40 Shield

Many folks have posted about wanting a 9 barrel option for a 40
Without any outlet yet.

I got into reloading lead bullets as an option for cheaper bullets for the 40.

Brass(free range pickups) - .00
Primer (wolf). - .03
Powder per bullet - .02
Bullet lead -.06
.11 (ish) per bullet

If you shoot 200 rounds per month, with the savings over store bought ammo, you can pay for the reloading equipment and have money left over in that year.

It works as advertised, it did great. Not one problem in about 100 rounds.
I really like this pistol. I'm very happy that I got it in the .40SW.

Thanks 1x1. I ordered the 9mm barrel and 2 mags from G&G. Now I just need my 40 Shield.

nice to have extra magazines, but the Shield .40SW mags work just fine with the 9mm ammo.

Agreed, dual mags may be fine for the range but not self defense. I want the right tools for the job.
