Question on building a 9 X 23
I picked up a series 80 colt in .45 acp that had one side of the slide machined way out of square for a good price ( read cheap because of slide ). The gun didn`t look refinished and appeared to come from Colt this way. I squared the slide up and cut each side to equal thickness and it is too light for anything but light bullseye loads. I did expect this but I just bought it for the lower half.
Does anyone know if the feedramps are cut on the .45 to the same specs as the 9X23? Basicly want to know if this frame will build a reliable 9X23?
I have been out of the shooting scene for several years ( went dirtbike racing ) and I am not up on the 9X23.
