![]() ![]() Overall, we found a lot to like with the conversion kits, and in the case of the Glock, you could be firing 9mm out of a 40 S&W Glock for less than $200. During close range work, we also performed a variety of magazine reloads and tactical reloads. We performed speed drills at 10 yards, firing a magazine as fast as we could while still keeping hits in an 8-inch-diameter-or-smaller target. Ammo sources: Armscor USA 22 TCM 40-Grain JHP F AC 22TCM-1N ($19.41/50 from ) Armscor Ammunition 9mm Luger 124-Grain Full Metal Jacket FAC9-4 ($10.50/50 from ) Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger 115-Grain XTP Jacketed Hollow Point 90244 ($16.50/25 from ) Federal Premium Personal Defense 357 SIG 125-Grain Jacketed Hollow Point P357S1 (50) ($60/50 from ) Federal American Eagle 357 SIG 125-Grain FMJ AE357S2 ($44.50/50 from ) Winchester USA 40 S&W 180-Grain Full Metal Jacket Q4238 ($17/50 from ).įor accuracy testing we benched all three pistols in their paired calibers and fired at targets set at 25 yards. We recorded velocities using a ProChrono digital chronograph with the first screen set 10 feet from the muzzle. To collect accuracy data, we fired five-shot groups from a bench using a rest. RIA TCM TAC 9MM LUGER FACTORY CONFIGURATION GLOCK G35 9MM LUGER DOUBLE DIAMOND BARREL Range Data GLOCK G35 40 S&W FACTORY CONFIGURATION Across the board, we found that no gunsmithing expertise was required, and you can swap back to the factory caliber easily. Part of our evaluation was to also see how difficult it was to convert between calibers, and we found it was as easy as field-stripping the pistol and dropping in replacement parts. The Rock Island Armory (RIA) TCM TAC Ultra MS HC comes from the factory capable of firing both 9mm and the hot-rod 22 TCM round total cost is $960. The total for the 40 S&W Glock G35 Gen3 ($560), ,Double Diamond 9mm conversion barrel ($160) and Magpul 27-round magazine ($22) set us back $742. If you own a pistol capable of caliber conversion, then you just need to opt for the caliber-conversion components. With these thoughts in mind, we acquired a SIG Sauer P226 Nitron in 9mm ($1087) and a Caliber X-Change Kit in 357 SIG ($370). ![]() ![]() We also think having a pistol that can adapt to different calibers means ammo is easier to find for your pistol. We also like that a shooter is essentially using the same grip, sights, and trigger, so he doesn’t have to adapt to a pistol with different grip angle, sights, or trigger weight and pull. A pistol with the ability to train in a more affordable caliber, or have the ability to increase power, speaks to our practical side since multiple pistols in multiple calibers can be expensive. We wanted to take a look at pistols that are capable of centerfire-caliber conversions. ![]()
