Lone Wolf Longs Slide Question

I was hoping to build a 17L using Lone Wolf parts but it seems they don't have any 17L slides available except a 24 long slide and their 9mm conversion for the 24 slide. I've noticed that the 24 has no cut out on the top of the slide. Will I have issues if I'm running this as a 9mm?

I haven't done any checking yet. Does anyone know if Lone Wolf makes a 6" barrel and long slide for a G-21 frame?
It just came to me that would be another fun Long Slide. I like the 45acp round, and the G-40 is a 5" not 6" and the 45 super would like 6" better, and the G-21 frame could handle it.

Thanks, My Bad, I was thinking about the 41, and typing 40.
I was thinking about a 6" slide and barrel in 45acp for a 21 frame.
Don't know why Glock made the 10mm with 6", and 45 with 5".
I have a 45 in 5" in my 1911, I wanted the G-21SF with a 6"
and gen3. Guess I'll have to build my own.
I had a 6" slide, and put it on a Rock Island frame. Slide was nickel,
frame parked. It looked very good, and shot good too. A friend fell in love with it, and just had to have it. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Similar to my story. I had a springfield longslide 1911 that was just a wonderful piece. I had a comped bushing barrel setup for super rounds and the factory bull barrel for the lower pressure stuff. All stainless and a very pretty gun. Guy made me an offer that was impressive so I took it thinking springfield would make a new run of the longslides sometime in the future. I was wrong, it's been years and I'm still waiting.

I knew lone wolf was making the longslides for glocks so I figured why not? I bought the gen3 sf frame by itself off gunbroker then assembled the slide and in the end it cost in the $650-700 range to build it.

The best part of the glock compared to the 1911 is not just the weight, and the fact that im not afraid of scratching the glock but the barrel swaps. I have barrels in 9mm, 357sig, 40, 10mm, and 45 for this gun and they all work very well.

That was kind of what I had in mind also, I have a G-17L, the G-21SF frame could handle all the above rounds with no problem where the
G-17L frame might run into problems. You can make a big one smaller, but its hard to make a small one larger.
Kind of like measure twice, cut once.

Those are my 2 longslides as well, 17L and the 21sfL. The 357, 40 and 10mm work well with just swapping to a 10mm mag. I put the 357 barrel in a lathe and opened up and lengthened the throat to allow me to run 357mag bullets loaded to 1.280". The LW 40 barrel has a generous lead from the factory and will chamber 40 rounds that are loaded to 10mm length right out of the box.

The 9mm setup required me to take the 10mm mag and bend the mag spring to get the follower to sit at a flatter angle. Then put the mag in a vice to close the feed lips by about .010". I had to do that because the slide would lock even with one more round in the mag. I also did the kkm mod to the extractor so it would grab the 9mm cases more efficiently. The throat was opened just like the sig to run 357mag bullets out to 1.280" in the 9mm cases just to get the most from the big frame.
