I love GLOCK!
Not that I have an immediate need or want to do this, but I am curious about something. Can you take slides and match them up with different size lowers (assuming same caliber). I have put the slide from a 23 on a 22 handle, and visa versa, but I have never shot it in that configuration. Not that it has any practical purpose, but if you you had to mix parts from 2 guns, would it work? |

The locking block and barrel lug from a fullsize gun is different from a midsize or subcompact. The slides and frames can be swapped around if you shorten the dust cover or get a slide spacer from Lone Wolf.
An exapmle is that a G22 slide will work on a G23 frame. You will need a dust cover spacer to cover the exposed recoil spring and a custom G22 barrel with a G23 style lug. Lone Wolf sells them as G23L barrels. A G23 frame will accept a G27 slide if the dustcover is opened up and shortened. The recoil spring hole in the slide has a larger external diameter on the G27. |
