When by my local Gun shop looking at some .308's when I saw a Sub2000 on the shelf. They had several this month but all were Berretta 92. I already have a Gen 1 in Glock .40, but I wanted Gen 2 to go with my Gen 2 9mm Glock. While checking to make sure my old Glock mags would fit (22 rd) I noticed that my 9mm Glock mags would also fit and vice versa. The bolt is marked in real small letters 40 S&W. Am I wrong that you can load 9 mm Glock mag into 40 Cal and .40 Glock mags into 9mm SUB2000. My .40 S&W is marked Glock 19/23 and my 9mm is marked 17/22. I don't think the 40 will fit into the 9's chamber, but maybe the 9 might chamber in the 40.

You're correct that Glock 9 and 40 mags are compatible. I've even used 40 mags loaded with 9 without a problem (in Glocks).

Yes, you could chamber a 9 in a 40 gun... kinda. I'd be surprised if you did any damage to the gun.

Found out 9mm round just falls through 40 cal barrel.

Not a big surprise. If you loaded it with .357 Sig, the extractor might hold it in place so you might be able to set it off.

Most same manufacturer 9mm and .40 S&W magazines have the same bodies. The OAL of the rounds are the same. It's what made a conversion to .40 S&W so popular when it was first released. All you had to do was slightly rework the slide and drop in a larger barrel. In fact a lot of original .40 S&W guns were issued with 9mm magazines until the supply chain caught up. The only REAL difference in most is a slightly shorter feed lip on the .40 magazine to allow the larger round to pop up and in line with the chamber sooner.
