    Default Gen 1 Glock 17 slide on Gen 3 frame?

    Will a Gen 1 Glock 17 slide fit and function properly on a Gen 3 frame from a G17L? (As far as I know the 17, 17L and 34 all use the exact same frame. Is this correct?)

    Conversely, will a Gen 3 G17L slide work on a Gen 1 frame?

    I have a G17L that I'm trying to convert to a 17 or 34 to shoot production in USPSA and also shoot IDPA. A guy on another forum has a Gen 1 G17 slide to trade plus some cash. Just wondering if his slide will work on my frame and if my slide will work on his frame.

    Should go right on, my only concern would be the older Glocks had black internals(unless they got it upgraded by Glock), not sure how well they would work with the newer gen internals.

    Not sure if it is legal for USPSA production. I would check with John Amidon(NROI Director) first, here is the e-mail address: JohnAmidon@verizon.net
