Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert a Glock 27 to a Glock 26?

To convert a Glock 27 (.40 S&W) to a Glock 26 (9mm), you need to replace the original .40 S&W barrel with a 9mm conversion barrel. The process involves field stripping the Glock, removing the old barrel, installing the new 9mm barrel and guide rod, reassembling the slide, and finally switching to a 9mm magazine.

What is a Glock 27 9mm conversion barrel?

A Glock 27 9mm conversion barrel is a specialized barrel designed to fit within the slide of a Glock 27 (.40 S&W) pistol, but it is rifled for and chambers 9mm ammunition. It allows you to effectively turn your .40 caliber Glock 27 into a 9mm Glock 26 without changing the slide or frame.

Do I need to change the slide to convert a Glock 27 to 9mm?

No, you do not need to change the slide. The key component for converting a Glock 27 to 9mm is a 9mm conversion barrel. This barrel is designed to fit the dimensions of the Glock 27 slide while allowing it to fire 9mm rounds.

What magazines are needed for a converted Glock 27 (now 9mm)?

Once you have converted your Glock 27 to fire 9mm ammunition using a conversion barrel, you must use 9mm magazines. The .40 S&W magazines are not compatible and will not reliably feed 9mm cartridges.
