ormondopen Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 can an upper from one 9mm be used on another frame? you know, like the other gun who shall remain nameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yes. You can use a .40 upper on a 9mm frame and visa/versa also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I think he is asking if you could put the upper on a Glock. I should have tried that to see when I had an M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dunno about M&Ps (mine is still on order). BUT - years ago I tried to force the upper from my brother's S&W Smegma (or was it Stigma?) onto my Glock frame; rails started to fit - rest of upper did not. It was a no-go.

glockopen Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I have 2 M&P 9mm's and swapped the uppers, I have not test fired them yet but the frame to slide fit has a slight bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Along the same line, Do you know if a M&P40 barrel would work in a M&P9 slide? I think the ejectors are the same between the two calibers but don't know the dimension of the breech faces are equal or if the extractor is the same. I don't own a M&P9.

Fireant Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Let's see: No a Glock slide will not fit on an M&P frame, it goes about half way then things don't match up. I'm not sure about a 9mm barrel working in a 40 slide. It fits, but I don't know about working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm not sure about a 9mm barrel working in a 40 slide. It fits, but I don't know about working. It does fit and it does cycle by hand. Have not shot it this way, but looks like it should work. The breech face on the .40 slide is a little bigger, hence the 9mm round is loose when compared to the 9mm slide, but the extractor still engages the brass.

The 40 barrel in the 9 slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40 barrel in the 9 slide? The 40 barrel will not fit in the 9mm slide. There is a little cutout where the barrel meets the breech face and on the 40 it is bigger than on the 9mm. The 9mm will fit into the 40 slide but it is loose in that little cutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbosik Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 the 40 barrel will not work in the 9 slide, the 9 barrel will fit the 40 slide but the breech face and extractor is not right, i would not shoot it like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
