[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 1227834, member: 2469"] All I'm saying is a little play in slide tolerance isn't going to be an issue. Especially, if he decides to have say a M/T Barsto installed later on. I'm with you on starting out with a new frame and slide if he intends replaces every single part of the gun and modify the frame/slide. If not or he plans on developing the gun in stages as time/money allows then a Springfield mil-spec or Colt series 70 would be good choices. NK, look for a good used pistol. Especially, an older Springfield with an NM prefix in the serial number and the crossed canons behind the ejection port. You should be able to find them in the 400-500 dollar range. [/QUOTE]
