Nobody ever made these. However, you can use a 9mm barrel in certain 40cal models, which model CZ are you asking about?

Barsto, EFK Firedragon, and a few others used to make conversion barrels.

When going from 40 S&W to 9mm in a CZ 75 variant, why would one use a conversion barrel from an after market company, when one could simply drop in a CZ factory 9mm barrel?
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

I didn't know that, so no adjustment are needed to the frame or barrel to fit?

   I should not have used the term "drop in" in my above post. Generally, when installing a replacement barrel, fitting of the breech face contact areas of the barrel to the slide is required. In some cases they will drop in without fitting, but this is not the norm from what i have seen.

slight fitting may be required, but it is possible that it could drop in as is

I've used a factory 9mm barrel in a .40 SP-01 Tactical (since both barrels are the same OD). The barrel did not require any fitting by me, but may have required fitting by the original owner.

CZ 75 pistols in .40 will require SP-01 9mm barrels and not CZ 75 barrels.
