1911 conversion?

Some manufacturers use one slide for all calibers 9mm through 10mm. I have no idea what Springfield does, so, yes there is a chance that your slide will work. Simplest, and easiest way to check is to find a piece of 40 or 10mm brass, and see if it will slide into the breech face. If it does, you're good to go. If not, you will need a new slide.

Aww ok.
Thank you for the Intel. Your reply helped with alot of my questions. Yes I used my googlefu but answered are all over the place.
New slide it is. I'll try to find one for the springer as I don't want to crack the Colt frame.
Interesting about the grip panels. Thanks for that too.
Would not given that a thought about the high pressures cracking the frame. I'm guessing too high, stress frame, too low, stress frame. Sigh... If it was a free state the answer would be so simple[emoji3525]

I had a fusion 10mm fitted on my RIA, by RIA. They kept the warranty because they did the work. Did put a frame shock buffer but not sure if it really does anything.

Only regret... Not getting the 6" long slide instead of the 5".

Just posted a Marvel Precision conversion, would fit on your Springer nicely:

Thanks, I've got a powder puff 9mm. A 22 would be fun but I've got enough 22s.
