The creator finally acquired a Glock, specifically a Gen 2 Glock 23 chambered in .40 S&W. While not a "trendy" model, the creator already has a 9mm conversion barrel on order and a collection of Glock 17 magazines, which are compatible with the firearm. This acquisition allows them to utilize existing magazines with their new Glock pistol, even after converting it to 9mm.

Installing a 9mm conversion barrel on a .40 S&W Glock (like the G23) offers significant advantages, including lower ammunition costs and reduced recoil for faster follow-up shots. Conversion barrels are specifically engineered with thicker walls to match .40 slides, unlike standard 9mm barrels. Wheaton Arms barrels feature standard rifling and a target crown for improved accuracy and versatility with various ammunition types.
