abrazzo, By the way that 1006 is very sweet looking Brand New in the Box! Bar-Sto use to make 40S&W conversion barrels for the S&W 10xx model, I purchased one early 90's...however they have ceased to produce them. Sometime back we tried group buy from them but didn't get the numbers. On a side note, some people are shooting the 40's thru the 10mm barrels, but this can be problematic, as the extractor is holding the cartridge.
Mike McNett of Double Tap Ammo actually had Bar-Sto make the 9x25Dillon conversion for several guns that also included the S&W1006, I purchased one from Mike some time back.
Both of my barrels were Match Grade and needed to be fit to the slide and frame. After the 9x25 was fitted I had to have the chamber cut for the final headspacing. Both have been a great addition to this platform.
One of the members (Bad_Man_One) here on the forum, actually has some conversion barrels of various calibers (about 100) being done as a work in progress, he has had some setbacks for CNC machine time, but he does intend to finish.
Basicly, like a Glock, with just a conversion barrel swap (maybe a recoil spring upgrade), the 10xx series can utilize 40S&W, 357Sig & 9x25Dillon while using the same magazines.
