For caliber conversion in the Match's do I need whole new top end's (slide & barrel), or can I just get a barrel only and change the recoil spring? Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume that you would need a whole new top end. I don't see the breach face/extractor on the slide being eaily used from one caliber to the next.
I could be wrong through.
The Match pistols are fairly inexpensive. Just buy two guns in the calibers you want. That would be the least pain in the butt.

Yeah, guess you're right.

I guess it would depend on what calibers you are switching to/from. 40/10mm or 9mm/38Super would probably be a barrel, springs to match your load, and maybe some extractor tuning. But a a new gun dedicated to each caliber would be the way I would go if you plan on swapping a lot.
