I have a Sig 229 Sport in 40 S&W which I "converted" to an IDPA pistol using a Barsto 9mm Conversion barrel and an extra stainless slide. It functions perfectly using the 10 shot 40 S&W 229 Sport magazines with the extra metal finger extention.
I had a Dan Wesson 1911 in 40 S&W and tried using a 9mm barrel but the slight difference in breechface dimensions cuase feeding/extraction issues. I finally had another slide fitted by DW for use with the 9mm barrel.
