I read some where that the frame on the 17 annd the 34 were the same. Is this true? Can I buy a 34 complete slide and put it on a 17L with out changing any thing else?
Can I buy a 17 slide and put it on a 17L, are the frames the same? And as long as I'm asking tons of questions, will a standard length 22 cal. conversion kit fit the 17L?

Edit:  Thanks for the info you guys have been very helpful. I have one more question. Can I use a slide for one of the 40cal models on the 17L frame?

I have never been a Glock fan but I ran across a good deal on this one and had to have it It felt good in the hand looked cool. I have shot several though the years and couldnt hit any thing with them. I dont remember the exact model but there were 2 9mm, 1 40 cal and a 45. I am hoping I like the way this one shoots. I know you can learn to shoot any pistol accuratly but I wouldnt want to develope new muscle memory for just one gun. It would throw off all of my other ones.

The dust-covers appear to be the same length, but I'll admit I've never tried swapping the slides out before, not have I tried a rimfire kit on the longer models...

Should work seamlessly... The 17L 34 and 17 are the same frame different slides though...  Because you can also put on the 17 slide a 22, 31, 37 slides and they will work.

Yes should be the same frame and mags also should work.

Oh, the mags definitely work amongst them.

I have a G24 slide that goes right on and functions flawlessly on my G22 frame.

So, yes, the 17L slide will work on the 17 frame.

Yes it would work.
