I don't want to take away from the OP in his 19 vs 23 thread, so I wanted to ask does anyone know of a company that sells used glock slides? Specifically I'm looking for a 23 slide.
ETA: I've done some reading that suggests that a 23 slide shouldn't be used on a19. Anyone know if that's true? |

As far as a 23 slide on a 19 frame, most frames are identical for 9, .40, and .357. If it has three pins, it's good to go for a 23 slide. The older two pin frames are the one's that could be problematic. This pic explains better: Glock Frames
EDIT: I'm an idiot with links... |

All three-pin 9mm frames ARE NOT good to go for .40 slides. Source? I was pretty sure the reason that they went to 3-pin was because there were durability issues with the .40(locking block damaging frame and such). All current production Glocks use identical frames if I'm not mistaken. |

If you can get a new Glock with the LE discount I'd just do that. Finding a complete slide at a reasonable price isn't easy, but you can try the EE. You could always buy a complete G23 and then sell the frame. If you do put a G23 slide on a G19 frame be sure to switch to a .40 ejector as well.
