Hello Folks,
I have a question that I think is quite important. I have looked high and low for answers, but haven't found any.
I am planning to go through the NV CFP course soon. I want to qualify with my .40 SW Glock, perhaps two of them. Here's where I'm confused. I am planning on purchasing a 9mm conversion barrel (with the ejector, extractor and mags) for my Glocks for both cheaper practice and SHTF situations where I don't have access to .40 SW ammo. From what I have read, this setup is reliable enough for carry if the proper parts are changed. I haven't tried it for myself yet, but I will surely do an in depth test first. I have no reason really, to carry 9mm, as I feel the .40 SW is a superior round for SD. But I want to know if I would be able to carry this if I wanted or needed to one day in the future. Would this require a separate qualification? My blue cards show the model and caliber of my firearms, so I assume the CFP does too. It seems that if I ever had to use my weapon one day and the caliber fired wasn't one I am licensed to carry, I am asking for a problem.
The second part of this question is the big one. It's the opposite question as before. Let's say someone goes to the CFP course with their G33, (subcompact Glock .357 SIG) but has a conversion barrel in it for 9mm. I don't know how close the instructor watches, but could one qualify with this weapon using 9mm ammo, then "hit the streets" with .357 SIG ammo?
Look, I'm not saying I want to try this. But I want to know if there is a proper way to go about the qualification with both setups on the same weapon.
Does anyone have any experience with doing this?
