Benefits of technology

[0015]An object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the above-described firearms by providing a modified recoil guide rod assembly and the components, some of which can be used independently

Problems solved by technology

However, the present design in the Glock Generation 4 is flawed and problematic in its application to custom or low power cartridges in that its guide rod assembly includes a rod with two (2) springs, the arrangement of which precludes: 1) use of past Generation 3 single guide rod assemblies, and 2) modification of the OME springs acc

Abstract

An adapter for utilizing a handgun slide manufactured for use on a common generation and version of handgun frame to make its use capable on a newer generation or versions frame having different dimensional features. The adapter makes allows use of a slide assembly comprising of a slide, barrel, recoil spring and guide from previous generations on more recent generations of the same handgun. The adapter is mounted on the previous versions dust cover creating a new geometry to allow for proper function inside the newer generation's frame. The adapter includes a bushing. The earlier generation's slides have an outer surface shape smaller than the newer generation slide with the adapter creating the geometry necessary for compatibility.
