Border Rockwell Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 All right all you geniuses of the gun, I’ve got a question about the Colt Double Eagle .40 cal. I recently traded into a Double Eagle commander model in .40. I had never previously been aware of The gun, but I’m already falling in love. My question is about slide compatibility. When taking about the gun to an old gun smith friend he told me that he had a complete slide assembly for the gun in .45, including barrel. He thinks that I should be able to slap this slide on, grab a .45 cal mag and drive on. Unfortunately proximity doesn’t allow a hands on test of the conversion. Does anybody have any experience with this gun? I do know that the frame will accept a slide from a 1911 on the frame. My reason for the question is that I would like to have the continuity of caliber between my 1911 and the Double Eagle. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 You would most likely have to change out the ejector when installing the .45 a.c.p. slide, Other than that it will fit, Colt used the same size frame on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
