Description
If you've got a Glock 22 sitting in your safe but want the benefits of 9mm shooting, this threaded conversion barrel gives you exactly that without the hassle. Swap the barrel, load up some 9mm ammo, and you've got a completely different caliber experience on a platform you already know.
Drop-in Installation for Tapco Conversion Barrel
This is about as straightforward as barrel swaps get. The barrel drops in like the manufacturer intended, no special tools, no trips to a gunsmith, no permanent modifications to your Glock. If you can field strip your pistol, you can handle this swap in a couple minutes. Works with both Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glock 22 frames.
Black Nitride Finish Meets Threaded Design
The black nitride finish gives you a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that's built to handle range sessions and real use. The muzzle is threaded so you can attach a suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider if you want to expand your setup down the road. Every barrel ships with a thread protector so your threads stay clean until you're ready to add an accessory.
Magazine Compatibility and Reliable Feeding
Run Glock 17 magazines for the smoothest, most reliable feeding. The 17 magazines pair perfectly with this conversion setup. While some shooters report occasional picky behavior with certain lighter 115-grain loads, most users see consistent function with standard 9mm ammo across the board.

Do I need to change anything else besides the barrel?
The barrel is truly drop-in, so you don't need gunsmithing or permanent changes to your Glock. Switch out the barrel and you're ready to shoot 9mm. Some shooters prefer using Glock 17 magazines instead of Glock 22 magazines for more consistent feeding, though the conversion works with either.

Yes, the muzzle is threaded and ready for accessories. The barrel comes with a thread protector to keep the threads clean until you're ready to attach a suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider. Just make sure any accessory you add is compatible with the 9mm caliber and thread pitch.
What ammo should I use with this barrel?
Standard 9mm Luger ammunition works great. This barrel handles everything from target practice rounds to premium defensive ammo.

Using Glock 17 magazines helps ensure consistent feeding across different ammo types.
