djb25 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi everyone, A couple of questions: 1) Does eaa import and sell longslide conversions for the older (or newer) small frame pistols? 2) If they do sell the longslides for the small frame, are they the newer style slides with the widely spaced slide serrations? 3) Do they sell the Limited or Stock conversions for the small frame pistols? I realize I could call EAA, but I'm guessing I have a better chance of getting accurate info here on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I could be totally wrong but I don't think the slide and barrel is different. The issue will be the mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb25 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I know there were some people saying that the large frame and small frame are externally identical, but that's not true. There is a significant difference between the size of the frames. The slides are not compatible between the small and large frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I purchased on accident (not mine) a small frame .22LR conversion kit for my Match and the mags didn't work. When I phoned EAA up they (lady on the phone) seemed to think I just needed the large frame mags. I just sold the small kit and purchased the large kit to save on the restocking/shipping charges.

kneelingatlas Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The space between the hammer and breech is longer on a large frame slide. I have called EAA regarding small frame long slides and been told they do have some in stock, but I never ended up ordering one. I have seen a small frame long slide ordered from EAA which has the new, wide serrations, but I'll bet it would be a crap shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb25 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 The small frame slide will fit on the large frame and will even lock on, but it sticks out in the back a slight amount. I doubt the gun would function, though. I certainly wouldn't want to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, maybe I'll have to give EAA a call and see what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
