I believe u are over looking something here. A few members have successfully trimmed the .40 "tangs" down on their barrel to make it fit in the 9mm slide (of course this was with the Shield also). After those "tangs" are trimmed down, the .40 barrel is pretty much the same as the 9mm barrel. Which is why the .40 barrel then fits into the 9mm slide...........Now we also know the 9mm barrel drops into the .40 slide and works perfect. So since this .40 barrel is now the same size as the 9mm barrel. We also know it'll drop right back into the .40 slide. Of course the tangs on the .40 barrel are a very very tiny bit smaller than it was before. But it fits just fine and is basically like dropping a 9mm barrel into the .40 frame.............Once again, this is with the Shield. The FS could be a different weapon.
