Flippinstk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Currently I have a Full Size Steel Witness in 9mm. Does anyone know if a compact slide will fit on the full size frame? Also, if it does, can I just but the slide, compact barrel & guide rod for a .45 cal and convert it over? Thanks Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippinstk Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well for those of you that want to turn your full size into something smaller for carry. It is possible to install a compact slide onto a full size frame. From EAA: Sir, This would be a compact conversion kit , the kit consist of the barrel , the slide , recoil guide and spring and 1 mag everything that is needed to convert the gun to .45acp . The standard Blued kits are $245.00 The Standard Wonder kits are $255.00 Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houlster Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've been using the compact slide on my 10mm Match for a couple years for carry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weller Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) I know this is an old thread but I was considering this option as well and wanted to confirm that the attached pic was of a full size frame and a compact slide as the compact slide looks longer than I would have expected. thanks Edited August 18, 2011 by Weller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david s Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have a new large frame 38S, will the compact slide fit this frame. EAA in their catolog still refers to the 4.5" steel gun as Full Size yet it's built on the large frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
