I recommend a G23 Gen4 over a G19, but this opens up the whole 9mm vs .40S&W thing again. Either one works great. Dimensionally, they're identical. 2 fewer rounds in the G23, but I find that to be a reasonable compromise. :thumbs2:
You could always get the G23, pick up the 9mm barrel and magazine and have both guns with one frame. Lone Wolf and Storm Lake as well as others make the barrels.
True, but the extractors sit at different angles, and you might have problems. LW does make a conversion barrel, but I don't really recommend it.
Interesting.

I hadn't heard that before, and I don't have any personal experience with the arrangement.

It would probably be a good idea to do some research with folks who have done it and perhaps contact the barrel maker as well to get more info before trying this option.

The safest and most versatile bet is of course to simply buy both guns.
FYI The conversion from a G23 to .357 Sig G32 is merely a barrel change. I picked up a .357 Sig barrel for conversion right here on this board just for the heck of it. Mags, slide, recoil spring and everything are identical.

Handy way to have a 2 caliber gun.
