Dawson Mini-Stroker Gun

[Big Guy]

Just found a crack below the ejection port.

I understand the mini-strokers have a "modified" slide in order extend the stroke.

For those of you that run ministrokers and had to replace the slide, which way did you go? Called DP to get a replacement stroker slide or just change the slide to a regular slide?

I would call Dawson

I concur with Kriojas.

I'm not familiar with the mini stroker concept (though i did have a slide modified by Dawson) but I would think changing to a normal style slide may change the dynamics of the gun.

Dave just reissued practical advantage slides. pretty sure he can retool and run the old Mini stroker slide for you and fix it good as new.

I think they mentioned in the description for the practical advantage slides that they were recently found and had limited quantity, they were probably made a few years back.

I'm sure they can do something for you though. Call them up and ask, can't hurt.

I've built a couple of strokers, a good gunsmith with a mill should be able to duplicate your existing slide. That is if Dawson can't get to it.

Pending a return call from Dawson.

Thanks for the input.

I've got a Stroker in Super. No problems at all, but I am primarily a Prod/Lim guy now, so the gun is still relatively low-mileage. (Like having a 67 Corvette Stingray with 26,000 miles on it....)

The modifications to the slide to create a Stroker are up in the area of the recoil spring tunnel, not below the ejection port. Am I just missing something, but I wouldn't think that those mods would cause a crack in the ejection port area.
