[Homer Simpson]Mmmmmmm......38 Super....mmmmm [/Homer Simpson]
Okay, (wiping off drool),....okay, I like you. You like the 38 Super
.
I have an LDA 14-45 and a 18-9. Looking at the frames of both and the ejector, they seem identical, even though when you look in parts catalogs (ie Brownells), the listed ejector for 45 and 9mm are different (in general). From looks alone, the LDA's are the same. Now, with that being said, switching a top end assembly in Super into a LDA 45 "Should" work. A different barrel will be needed, since the majority of the LDA's use the Para style barrel.
My suggestion, get a slide for 38 Super (either Colt, Springfield, STI or who ever makes them, look at Brownells, heck look at the actions. I've seen 38 Super stailness slides on there for about 250-300) and get a drop in bull barrel from Bar-Sto (200.00). That would be the "quickest" way.
I'm planning a hi cap LDA 38 Super via a barrel swap on my 9mm. Twenty rounds of 38 Super.....mmmm.
