Is it possible? I've heard that early Gen3 slides will fit on Gen2 frames, which are the same dimensions as Gen1 frames.

So theoretically, if I had an early Gen3 slide (one of the ones where "SMITH & WESSON" was on the end of the slide in front of the "MADE IN USA (etc)" markings...

It should fit, and function fine, right?

My S&W 39 is coming soon, and I already have a spare 3914 slide assembly. If possible, can somebody try it and see if it works?


(I know to remove the firing pin safety for Gen1 compatibility.)
