[Can A .40 Slide Be Used For A .38super Gun]

The .40 slide will work for super because of the rim. It will not work for any of the rimless 9s. But I would sell or trade the slide, with a 9mm/ 38s slide and a super chamber it is possible to fire 38s. 9sc and 9x23 in the same gun if your gs knows how to set up extractors.-----Larry

This is not correct. A slide made for .40 can be used for .40, 9mm Para, 9x21, .38 Super etc. I have interchangeable breechface on my SVI but I don't change it when I put my 9mm Para barrel in the slide. The guy who owned the gun before me had a .38 Super barrel installed.

So my .40 slide has been used with .40, 9mm para and .38 Super barrel with the same extractor with total reliability.

[Multi Cal. Guns]

I see where some people have a gun built that shoots .40 S&W for Limited, then have a second top end made in .38 Super or 9 Major for shooting Open.

On that thought, is it possible to have a .40 S&W built for Limited in 3-gun then have a second top end made in .45 GAP (supposed to have dimensions of a .40 cal gun?) for use in Heavy Metal Division.

I personally don't like the idea because I would much rather own two new guns, just had the thought so I figured I would throw it out there.

Is the GAP even legal for Heavy Metal?

You don't have to have a second slide for 9mm/.38 Super when you have a .40 slide. My SVI is a .40S&W and I only switch barrel, recoil spring and mag when I want to shoot 9mm Para. My gunsmith just fitted a 9mm Schuemann barrel to the .40 S&W slide. Absolute reliability with the .40 extractor

If you want a .45 barrel and the slide is made for .40 S&W, you have to have a second slide.

[Bomars And Cz]

I've seen many CZ 75/85 fitted with Bo-Mar. Swedish smith Haakan Spuhr does this job often and used to have pictures of it hos his website.

Now he mostly uses flat-based Bo-Mar that is mounted with a heavy duty screw in stead of the dove tail version.
