9 times out of 10 you just drop in the barrel and go. When using a can, there's always the chance of needing a different recoil spring regardless of if you're converting calibers or not. But when converting on rare occasions you may require a lighter recoil spring, but most will work with the .40 recoil spring. I would say for optimal reliability I would always go lighter on the recoils spring when going from .40 to 9mm, and I would use dedicated 9mm magazines even though the .40 magazines almost always work perfectly. I would use dedicated 9mm mags just out of convenience.

But if you don't like the one gun solution, there's nothing wrong with just buying a threaded 9mm M&P to go along with your .40 M&P. But another gun is almost 3x the cost of just doing the barrel.

Ive not been able to achieve Hollywood quiet with a CF handgun. 9 is quieter than 45 - never tried a 40.



I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

PS - A .25 saved my life Sunday. Rattler came up behind me when I was shooting prone. Just got my hand on my EDC and my spotter lit him up. 9 rounds of awesome.


I was wondering what happend to Rattler. RIP.

A 10" 300 Whisper in a TC can be Hollywood quiet.


IF I ever went with a can on a pistol, I'd want a pistol that I could lock the slide on.

My .308 with sub-sonic loads is definitely Hollywood quiet.

I'd also call the suppressed .44 carbine I've played with Hollywood quiet when shooting sub-sonics.

And of course the 22LR with sub-sonics. Rifle, not handgun.

Thanks, Brotato Chip.

Clark, don't know if you ever look at Sigforum.com, but there's a pretty good suppressed/Cl III section. There's a current discussion on Octanes/9mm/etc.

The suppressor thing is addictive....almost like guns, but better for me. I can't trade suppressors off on a whim!

I have not.

This is the only place that allows me to post on the internet.

But I will check it out. Thanks.
