[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 561430, member: 3615"] The breechface can be used for either caliber. You would need a new barrel at a minimum and likely a new extractor tuned for the new case rim dimensions, although you may just be able to adjust the tension and go with it. Depending on what ejector is in the gun and who installed it I would think it has the possibility of working but may also need to be changed out. The 9mm probably has a ramped barrel so be sure to get the right ramp on your replacement part. My question is why? 38 super brass is more expensive and depending on the barrel, may not shoot commonly sourced .355 bullets very well. Upon thinking about it, you may be able to rechamber the 9mm barrel to accept the 38 super case. That would give you a barrel guaranteed to shoot 9mm bullets well. I'd talk it over with a smith first, you may go over to brianenos and ask the guys there what could be done. GT [/QUOTE]
