Just had an interesting thought- I know I'm not the only person who's wanted a Glock 30 rd. mag for the .40. Unfortunately they only make them in 9mm and the aftermarket ones have very bad reviews.
So... here's my crazy idea. Let's say I take a 30 rd 9mm Glock mag, pop that baby open, and swap out the 9mm follower for a .40. I've read the 9mm mags have the same dimensions as the .40- never measured it to make sure, though. Some people claim to use .40 mags for 9mm and vice-versa without even changing the follower. I doubt it will hold 30; probably more like 26.
Think it'll work? Not work? Create a thermo-nuclear detonation in my hand and inspire the world's coolest eulogy? I'm no gunsmith, I'm just a crazy guy willing to try unless someone here can talk me out of it.
