P220…… Probably a stupid question, but

P220 .45 ACP

Can a P220 10 mm barrel be swapped in and if so, I’m guessing 10mm mags would be needed.

That is even if you could find a barrel and also assuming mags can be found.

Just a thought that popped into my wandering mind.

No, you can't, for a few reasons. The aluminum frame of the .45 P220 can't handle the recoil of the 10mm if you could find someone to make a 10mm barrel that would fit the slide. Bar-sto only advertises/makes 10mm barrels for the 10mm-specific slide.

There was also a recent thread where a few members confirmed that the dimensions of the rails between the two versions, both slide and frame, aren't compatible, so you couldn't use a factory 10mm slide and barrel.

If you could find someone to make you a 10mm barrel for your .45 P220, you would probably be able to use the standard P220 10mm magazines.
