I would keep it. My humble opinion is that the 30 cal is a better round - it is what Georg Luger originally designed his creation for (not the 9mm).

The price and the longer barrel are both favorable. Fiocchi 30 cal Luger is available from Midway @ $23.99 box of 50.

I am presently converting several of my 9mm handguns to 30 Luger.

Rather than sending it back, consider re-selling it here.

I guess I could keep it, I am moving to TX, but up here in AK, 30 luger is not the gun you want as what is on the store shelf is what u can get, about the only place that will ship ammo here is the CMP (Fedex Air) all other has to be brought by container on barge

If this process results in a spare 9mm x 4 3/4" bbl, I may be interested, for my '06 AE shooter which currently sports a replacement 3 3/4" .30 Luger bbl. which would then be available for someone else. The sight and sight base on it have been ground/filed to create an extra sharp tip.
I have another 06 AE shooter with the original .30 x 4 3/4" bbl., and I'd like the same configuration in 9 mm for more economical shooting. I'd go with the original length because I have a 6" x 9mm Mauser 29/70, a and a 1917 Artie, and am covered for shooting the longer barreled examples. (Well, except for the carbine...)
