In regards to sidearm selection-
Would any of you consider it a benefit to carry a Glock .40 with a 40-9 conversion barrel? I have no personal experience with them but I have seen them mentioned here before by QPs, so I am assuming that at least some people have had some luck with them. If they are reliable enough, I would imagine that having a pistol that could shoot .40 or 9mm and a rifle that could shoot .22LR and 5.56mm would be a pretty powerful, lightweight package. If you have the conversion barrel in your weapon and it loaded with the 9mm JHP carry ammo of your choice, for the weight of a few empty .40 mags and the original barrel you can shoot whatever .40 you pick up or have at your destination. I know that I have a wider variety of ammo at my eventual location than I could reasonably carry weapons for, so having one pistol that allows me to shoot two fairly common rounds may be a benefit.

That being said, there are people on here far more proficient and experienced than I and I would really like to hear your input. Thank you for your time.
