9mm to 40 cal? Glock

[geoney]

I know I can take my 40 caliber Glock and put a drop in 9 mm barrel, Can I do it the other way around?

Can I shoot 40 caliber out of my Glock 17 with a drop in a 9 mm barrel?

If your asking can you get a conversion barrel to convert a 17 to be able to shoot 40. then no you cant.

Is it not available or not possible?

I was always told the 9mm and 40 cal receivers are te same.

Not possible.The frames are the same but the slides are different.You can fit a 9mm case in the breach part of the slide on a 40 but not the other way around.The conversion barrel offsets the 9 round to catch the extractor.The case of a 40 is wider and wont fit in a 9mm slide.The only way you can is to get a 40 slide to put on the 17s frame.
