mcoliver Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I can't afford a 40cal slide. Will milling the breech face of a 1911 9mm slide to accomodate a 40 doable? Any problems going this route? Appreciate your thoughts and experiences. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9X25 Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 It is "doable" but it is not fun to do. The area is difficult to reach to machine cleanly and you must be careful not to remove too much. Take some careful measurements to use as a guide. You are not removing that much metal. I have modified 2 or 3 with good results. Good Luck, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 send it to a good gunsmith. Should not cost more than $40.00 to do & be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
