5906 building up a longslide

[attaché]

Hi,
a few monts ago, having a wonderful 5906, I bought a long slide from Numrich that fits.
Grider provided me with two 5" barrel 9x21 and .356tsw and helped me to recognize the slide as a super9.
Since then I'm trying to complete it with sights, extractor w/ pin and spring, firing pin and spring, safety lever kit (complete) and a barrel bushing to replace the old original one that appears damnaged and who doesn't fit my barrels. I would prefere all the items in ss.
Folks at S&W doesn't answer my e-mails...
I'm from Italy and I'm here in diplomatic mission for my Country. 9x21 is a very interesting caliber as in Italy, where 9mm luger in not allowed, is "the" 9mm caliber and I'd like bringing my baby there...
Any wizard there helping me?

I had a few of these slides and had S&W install both the bushings and the extractors. As I recall the price was quite reasonable and the turnaround a couple of weeks. The extractor is a fitted part so it does need to be installed by someone who knows how. As for the 9x21 it should match the 9x19 load-for-load, over here they like to pump them up to make major power factor, just a bit more than recommended.

thanks handgunner356, my problem is that folks at S&W ([email protected]) don't even answer my e.mails... I wrote the last one yesterday morning attaching the pictures of my slide. Do you know any specific address? I can't even image that S&W has such poor customer service... I appreciate your help, anyhow!

I've always called 800-331-0852 and talked to the service department.
