Converting a SIG P229 .40 S&W to 9mm

It is my understanding that a P229 in .40 S&W can be easily converted to 9x19mm with a conversion barrel. I have a regular 9mm barrel for a P229, and it will not work to accomplish this, because it is somehow different.

Can a regular P229 9mm barrel be re-machined to accomplish this without a major hassle?

Misunderstanding ! The two cartridges have different power levels, different diameters .The means that to interchange 9mm with 40 ,and get a RELIABLE pistol you would have to change recoil spring, extractor, ejector and perhaps other things.
Easy changeovers are the 40S&W with the 357sig !

OK, so I'll phrase this differently.

Can anyone tell me or show me the difference between a P229 9mm SIG conversion barrel and a regular SIG P229 9mm barrel?

Thanks.
