The 926 was designed to work with a barrel with a parallel bore exactly same size as the main bore (15.06mm).
I think it unlikely you would get acceptable results with anything else however some makers may be prepared to provide one of their models reamed out to same size (but unlikely to accept it back if you didn't like it!!

It needs a unique barrel with the proper bore dimension.

disclaimer...I make unique barrels.
