NoKimberDave Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Searched but failed to find anything, my apologies because I know I have seen info before on Eno's. Thinking of Limited Major. Want a gun but really like my TSO and wonder if caliber change is worth it? Or, just buy a TS in .40? Was looking at complete slides at CZC, too. Anybody do it? What is required for parts and fitting? Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Coctomus Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't believe you can convert 9, to .40.Only .40 to 9.Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a complete .40 top end and .40 mags. It's possible to shoot 9mm with a .40 slide, but not the other way. CZC sells complete top ends, contact Stuart Wong. They come oversized, so custom fitting is necessary; I've done it, the results were fantastic, but it was a ton of work. If I did it again I'd pay CZC to do the fitting.

cheby Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 just buy a new gun in 40SW. It will come with the slide and the mags and no fitting needed. At the end it would not be much difference in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Had a customer with a TSO 9mm, .40 upper fit right up. so could be pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdave24 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Would it really involve more than lapping the slide to fit a different upper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The .40 uppers are $500 or so. If they fit right on it would be fairly economical. Then budget $100 per mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I thought the mags were the same? Do the uppers come with sights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The mags are marked for each caliber. I don't think I have ever seen a mag that handles 9mm and .40 from the same mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've shot 9mm out of 40SW mags before. Depends on the platform though. I was under the impression you could convert a 40SW TS to 9mm and use the 40SW mags but I haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it works without fitting, sometimes it does not. Usually all that is involved is fitting the rails to the frame and making sure that the slide clears the sear cage.

NoKimberDave Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 So, it seems a complete slide assembly is the way to go. CZC sells them at $657.00, but has nice sights and guide rod it appears. I imagine fitting would be $100 or more. Add 3 mags and I am only 100-200 shy of a new Tanfo Limited or Tacsport. Looks like Cheby hit the nail on the head. Thanks for all the info y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Some TS mags are labeled 9mm/40 and work for both. I have two friends with mags like that. One of them has the original IPSC model, the other a TS. When I bought my TS 40 from CZC, I asked Stuart about converting it to a 9mm. He told me he did not think it worth it, and I would be better off just buying a new TS in 9mm. At $600 for the upper, $150 to fit it, and $150 for three new mags, it made sense. $900 to convert vs. $1200 (at the time) for a complete new one just seemed silly.

muncie21 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Complete TS seems to be the way to go. Especially now that you can order them for $1050 delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Sell the 9mm TSO and buy a new one in 40, then fit a spare 9mm barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ck867 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I have both 9mm and 40 mags and they aren't the same even though the rounds may fit. The 9mm mag loaded with 40 would not chamber completely and when I reduced the rounds loaded, it didn't drop freely either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yigal Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 u can measure slide rails with micrometer, and ask the czc if they have slides with this dimensions. most of tso rails dimensions that i checked have 22.28- 22.34 mm. slide for .40 will work on ts 9mm frame but u need order .40 extractor and stronger extractor spring for this.

Man, I saw this and it's exactly what I need. But I am broke from buying AR crap. Dang AR market has fallen so low I can't help but throw money at it. It really derailed my plans of limited major for a bit. I hoping beyond hope nobody buys it and you are forced to cut the price, and at the same time I get paid! Lol.
