I just bought a Colt 9mm upper off the EE. I am planning to use it with my full rail operator as seen below. I don't like the lines of the pistol up front. I thought I may have to fit the slide, but the 9mm slide seems as smooth if not smoother fit than my operator slide. I do have to fit my ejector. If I keep it like this, the stock SA grips suck, and are being changed out to black grip tape grips and I'm adding a low profile mag well mainspring housing. I will be using this as a steel gun and as long as it performs, looks do not matter that much. What is the hive mind...yah or nah

I just ordered a full rail custom shop operator last month - it will be hard chromed and in 9mm. But, the wait is 9 months... 1 month down. It will be like a Pro, but with the full rail and in 9mm. I also had the LPI checkering changed to 25LPI, and I didn't want Black T. Anyway - once U get that all together and working, let us know how it goes |
I checked into that as well, but didn't want to have to deal with the wait. We will see how this goes lol |
LOOKS GOOD, WHAT EJECTOR ARE YOU USING, WILSON, BROWN, ETC.............. DID YOU PUT A LITTLE TENSION ON THE EXTRACTOR.....DID YOU CHANGE THE SLIDE STOP.............. EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GO WITH A RAMPED BARREL.....................................CASPIAN 9MM PARA RAMPED, KKM PRECISION BBL

good looking pair! The upper including the slide stop and ejector are all colt. I'm hoping not to have to go with a ramped barrel. I do not want to jinx myself, but the pistol really seems to feed well. I'll get out to the range in a few days and we will see! |

I built two and converted one to 9mm para. Had all running with non-ramped barrels. For numerous reason all three now sport ramped barrels. Like I said, all three guns were running with ball ammo in non-ramped barrels. If you run into any problems let me know and i will see if I can help you out. good luck
