1. Not a fan for defense carry. Still has a .40 breech, ejector, etc. It’s also been argued about the appearance of stuff from a legal standpoint. And even if it’s only a 2% chance of mist being an issue, it’s still 2%.
2. I’d still have to vet it, which to me includes several boxes of ammo, including a box or two of the premium stuff.
3. I have no issue with it in .40.
An excellent episode:

If I am not going to carry it in 9 mm, I don’t intend on practicing with it in 9 mm. I reload, and if I recall correctly before the crisis the difference for me between 1000 9mm and 1000 .40 was around $22. At that rate, I presume it would take 5000 rounds just to break even on the cost of the barrel.
The kind of headline from when gun magazines battled for eyeballs on newsstands. "The 38 Special is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!!".
The very first Glock I bought was a blue label G22 Gen 2, probably around 1993 or so. About 10 years later I put a Lone Wolf conversion barrel in it to make use of more plentiful 9mm at work. I used that pistol and that barrel on the range until I retired several years ago. Then I really started shooting it, about 400 - 600 rounds a week for a year or so, until I bought a 19X.
I trust the conversion barrels on the Glocks.
(P.S. I'm not a maniac, once I retired I decided not to shoot when it was below 40 degrees, so that means about 9 months a year around here.)
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
