im confused! i have it the other way around. i installed a "curved leg" ejector in my 31 with my DD 40-9 conversion barrel. i thought you needed it to curved a little bit in order to reach the smaller 9mm casing. i've been doing it all wrong????http://www.zombieprepwiki.com/page/Glock+%22Mutt%22
:oops:

I just looked at the two parts again and you're right - I explained it exactly backwards.

Thanks for catching that.

Re: So....Does anyone still shoot .40 ????

I decided to go 9mm with my G23 which I hardly ever shot because I don't enjoy shooting .40 but didn't want to lose my investment in it. I just picked up a complete G19 upper and installed the G19 ejector while keeping the .40 upper and ejector. I now have two guns in one.

It's important to change the ejector because the .40 ejector bends inward a bit and on a really bad day could hit the primer of a live 9mm cartridge during ejection with unpleasant results.

The other good option is to install a Lone Wolf conversion barrel which has a slightly off center bore compensate for the .40 ejector.

I elected to go factory all the way for ease of mind regarding reliability. Another advantage of this route is that the slide markings accurately reflect which barrel is in the gun.
