A while back, I remember a thread where the discusion centered on swaping bbl from a full size frame ex. G22 with the compact frame ex. G23, and the consensus was that it can be done but the longer barrel would extend from the front of the slide on the compact frame.

I tried this last week and I can report that it can't be done, the configuration of both frames is diferent in the aspect that the locking block and pins are in a diferent location in each frame.

The configuration of the bbls is diferent due to this.

I don't know if the compact frame and the subcompact frame have the same diference, I'll look into it next time at the range and report to you my findings.

If you are getting a new bbl for your gun, make sure that you get or order the apropiate bbl for the correct model.
