Hello All,
Recently purchased a Gen3 Glock 22. I tried putting it on my 23 G4 frame and it didn't seem to lock up properly... Now I know this can be done, is there something I need to do/purchase to be able to do this? I know on Lone Wolfs site they have a dust cover, would this help? |

Hello All, Recently purchased a Gen3 Glock 22. I tried putting it on my 23 G4 frame and it didn't seem to lock up properly... Now I know this can be done, is there something I need to do/purchase to be able to do this? I know on Lone Wolfs site they have a dust cover, would this help? G22 and G23 barrels for one are not interchangeable .... The full size barrel is different than the compact\sub barrels a G23 barrel will work in a G27 but not a G22 in a G23. Are you trying to make a commander Glock? |
| The area that accommodates the recoil spring (some call it the pig nose) on the gen 4 slide is larger than that on the gen 3 slide, so the gen 4 slide will not properly fit on the gen 3 frame, however the gen 3 slide will fit on a gen 4 frame, but there will be space around that same area. However, that only applies to like size frames... full size/full size, compact/compact, etc. The locking blocks are different for the frame sizes and I don't believe the slides and frames can be interchanged in the same way. |

Thats what I thought. Can I buy a Glock 35 slide to put on the 22 frame as long as its a Gen3 slide? I just did this myself recently. I have a G22 and purchased an aftermarket G35 slide. I have not shot it yet but the slide fits perfect and hand cycles rounds fine. |
