Where can I buy an M&P9 full size slide?

[StealthyBlagga]

I have a project going where it would be helpful to have just a 9mm full size (4.25") slide. No barrel needed, and I am indifferent on sights/internals (will replace most parts). It looks like 9mm FS slides are no longer available from Brownells or Midway. I hope S&W have not been drinking the SIG Kool-Aid and stopped parts sales. I would like to avoid buying a whole new gun just for parts. Anyone got any suggestions?

The only slides I am seeing for sale are the ported slide & barrel Performance Center CORE slides. Grabagun has them for about $ 348 shipped the last time I looked.

I bought mine off eBay but they are sometimes outrageously priced. I also used to see a few slides from m&p forum classified ads

I managed to get a complete gun for a screaming price, so that should work. Still no answer from S&W Customer "Service".

Here is the reply from S&W Customer Service: "We are not selling those slides separately at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."

I know you said you didn't want a whole gun ... but ... some of these turn-ins are getting so cheap it's almost academic. 

Here is one for $329.95 ... a 9mm w/ a 4.25 slide ...

I'm sure there are plenty more around ... and more available all the time ... 

I can't believe you couldn't unload the lower for $50+ ... to some Production guy that would be glad to have an extra ... outfitted /w a FSS trigger / magwell etc ... when needed and allow them to swap back to their Production legal lower as desired.

Yeah, I got one of the non-safety version when they were still in stock at Aim, but now they only have the safety versions (yuck). I still needed another slide or complete gun so managed to find a brand new M&P9 FS for only 369 shipped, which is a screaming price. I am all set now, thanks everyone.
