.400 Corbon - Handguns and Conversions:  
    https://www.liquisearch.com/400_corbon/handguns_and_conversions

" Since a .400 Corbon conversion virtually matches the performance of the 10 mm yet does not require purchasing another handgun, some call it the "cheap man's 10 mm." A conversion also retains the versatility of easily converting back to .45 ACP as needed."

"Lone Wolf Distributors also offer a drop-in conversion barrel in 400 cor-bon for the Glock 21. StormLake offers drop-in for Glock 21 and Glock 30."
