My father left me an Essex frame/Colt slide Government model. It's awesome - hand smithed by a retired Marine armorer. I recently purchased a like new Colt Officer, Mark IV, Series 80 slide - thinking about a top-swap. "New" slide fits the frame almost as perfectly tight as the one my father had smithed for it. What are my options or pitfalls? Any comments or caveats?
