So as I am on the quest for a 4596 and they are scarce, I will ask the question:

Will a 4516-1 slide/barrel/recoil spring assembly fit onto a 4506-1/4566 frame?

It seems more plausible that I have to assemble a 4596 rather than buy one. Most that I see have a square trigger guard which I rather don't like. I have only seen one with a round trigger guard and that was here on the forum.

So the question is, will the complete slide assemble from a 4516-1 fit a 4506-1/4566 frame?
