bountyhunter Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Forgive me if I missed this somewhere..but is it a 35 slide you are using with the 9mm barrel? Yes, it's a G35 with a 9mm conversion barrel from EFK firedragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proff Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) You might want to borrow a 9mm slide and see if you still have the problem. There are some demensional issues using a .40 slide with 9mm barrel and ammo Edited April 29, 2008 by proff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobob Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The aftermarket barrels are made to fit the 40 slide, so he should be having no problems with ignition if his conversion barrel is properly made. Extraction or ejection may be a problem, but his problem is missfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price of new 9mm ammo ever drops under $300/case, maybe I'll buy some new stuff...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobob Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Last I checked Wally World, Winchester white box, 115 gr. was $14.88/box, 100 count. $148.80/k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedust Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Frankenglocks never seem to work. Swap those major components and springs for aftermarket stuff and your other guns aren't running either. This is especially true when all this swapping involves a caliber change. Shoot your 9's and put your G35 back together.Jim M ive built a dozen highly modified glocks...frankenglocks if you will, and have never had a problem that couldnt be worked out with a small amout of time, know-how, and patience. Unqualified gunsmithing is what doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extraction or ejection may be a problem, but his problem is missfires. They made be made to fit, but that don't mean they work, your still relying on the extractor to grab and hold the smaller 9mm round in place, if it's not holding the round in place which i doubt it is, is where the misfires are coming from, take some of the rounds that have dented primers and try to fire them in another 9mm see if they go bang, I imagine they will.

They dio fire in other guns. Sometimes they will fire in the G35 on second strike, not always. The Glock holds the 9mm round pretty tight because it has a pivoting extractor which easily accomodates the slightly smaller case rim diameter. My Springfield XD-40 (which has a fixed extractor) does not hold tension well using a 9mm conversion barrel and will FTE sometimes. It doesn't light strike.

chakup Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 OK I know this thread is kind of old- but why not pick up a LWD conversion barrel to test out. There ~$100 and you'll have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
