Default Got some parts!!

Got some parts today, pins, trigger set up, grip plug, the bar and slide release. So in effect the frame will not be complete. I hope to have time to get it all set up and installed by end of weekend and I will have the bottom half ready to rock. I opted to skip magwell for now.


Anyways I had a revelation well a buddy did. I would like your thoughts....I am still a bit torn between the 9mm vs. .40 debate. I don't have either for a personal gun. But a buddy of mine here said well you dumb ass, get the G24 set up. That is the Long slide version of the .40 and all you have to then do is purchase the 9mm conversion barrel and a magazine and then for an additional $125 you will have both a .40 and a 9mm in one gun. Instead of being a 17L it would be a 24. Both according to Lone Wolf have the same slide length.

Thoughts?? Makes sense but other opinions are always good.

9mm ammo is easier to find, and based on what I've seen, generally cheaper than 40 S&W. I've never seen the mystic of 40 S&W either.

Why not go big boy and go 45ACP?

Default Slide arrived.....

Nothing major, just the slide . Have not gotten a chance to throw it on the frame yet but here it is. Looks great. they don't put the wolf logo on it anymore, was pleased to see that missing. I like a bare slide. More pics to come with it on the gun soon, when I get some free time.

howdy,

I bet you'd get more help if you started a thread asking if anyone knows where to find one rather than asking in this thread.


welcome to the forum.
