Hello,
I am a real S&W fan and just ordered my first 1911, the Performance Center SW1911 - long slide. As you know, the PC 1911's have cuts in the slide to reduce weight and mass at the tip of the gun. Great for the range or for competition. But I've read that those same cuts make the gun less than ideal for carry or for backpacking as they permit more dirt to enter the internals of the firearm.
So, to preserve the option of using the gun in those other scenarios, I was wondering if I could purchase a second slide. One that does not have the lightening cuts, perhaps from the Pro E Series. For that to work, the slides/frames/etc would have to be interchangeable and compatible.
Does anyone know if that can be done?
Thanks
