908 or 910 conversion

[Mfreem08]

I have one of each & was curious if there is another caliber they could run with maybe just a barrel swap or factory barrel rechambered?
Thinking 9x21, 9x23 or 38 Super..

The magazine is far too short for 38 Super and 9x23 is basically the same length as 38 Super, so both are a no-go. 9x21 is certainly doable, but why?

Not really a why to it. Just like to tinker & didn't know if anyone had tried any type of conversion. I know the 40.. can convert to 10mm so I didn't know if the 9s could.

You probably know this but one that you can do that with is a 1911. A 9mm 1911 can be converted, most of the time, to 38 Super. But that's because the 9mm mags are the same length as the 38super, but with a spacer down the back.

In theory, .356 TSW can be done. You're getting.357 SIG performance out of a 9x19mm sized cartridge. The issue is will the 908 or 910 safely handle it. A 410 might, since that is built to be a .40 S&W.

I do have a 9mm 1911 I may try the 38 Super on.

Also, I have a S&W 410 that I may give that a try on. I already love the way my 410 shoots tho. I replaced springs & polished the proper surfaces & added a Hogue grip. Sights are the 1 thing lacking.

This only applies to the single stack 40's. The 4013/4053 series and I think the CS40.

Not all the 9mm mags even have the spacer. My Springfield 9mm mags don't. I haven't tried it but the ones without them might be the same as the .38 Super. But maybe the length of the lips are different also. I have considered converting my 9mm Springfield to .38 Super which is easy enough but then there's dies, brass, etc.

CDNN has these Sig Sauer .38 Super barrels....

I am not a metallurgist or engineer, but I would be wary - as mentioned - of putting pressure on a Model 908 or 910 beyond the design intended.
