Swap M&P frames?

[Harkrader]

Can the frames from the M&P pistols be switched?
In other words, if I have a M&P40 and a M&P 9mm Pro Series, can I swap the frames between them?
One person said "yes."

" The 9, 357 Sig and 40S&W frames are all the same. That way you aren't out too much for a gun you may or may not like."

Can anyone corroborate or dispute that?

Yes you should be able to, but the ejectors May be different. I know that with the newer 3 pin Glocks, the only difference in the frame is the ejector, so the M&P should be fairly similar

Everything is the same between an M&P40 and an M&P9, except the barrel.

The Pro has a longer slide though doesn't it?

I don't know the answer, but I am curious as to why you would want to do this swap?

I know I can swap my 9 FS and 9 Pro 5 frames. They are both IDPA competition guns but setup for different classes (mods affecting the frame only such as magwell and Apex FSS). By swapping I can choose barrel length for the desired class I want to run in on any given day

Much like calling a magazine a clip, you are caling a division a class.
Division: what gun you shoot
Class: How well YOU shoot the IDPA classifier

Thanks for the feedback. The reason I'd like to know is similar to IntenseImage. I can swap back and forth for different purposes. For now, it's just to know whether, if I should find myself with an abundance of parts they way I seem to accumulate Colt Government Model parts, I can assemble one gun from several.
I think I'm at the "try it" stage, but will carefully check the ejectors. And as Lost Lake notes, the Pro Series slide is longer.

Swapped the frames without any other changes, worked fine for 50 rounds.

Yes we all know what I meant. Time to move on
