Does anyone have any info on Lone Wolfs progress (or lack thereof) on their G.A.P. slides?? (Please note that I didn't ask "what do you all think about the G.A.P.???")

I wasn't aware they had anything in the works.

I own all 3 GAP pistols so I am not questioning your caliber decision, but why not just buy an entire pistol for about $300 or so?

A better questions is what is your final outcome for buying an aftermarket G 38 slide?

Ok, here's the deal. The GAP slide is WIDE.. much wider than the 19/32/23.. a lot of people that like the GAP don't like this. Lone Wolf was working on one that has the same width as the 19/32/23. I own a G23, and would not mind adding a 38 upper to it with a slide width of the above mentioned. I think there was actually a video posted a while back here as well that showed Lone Wolf testing a prototype 38 upper.

Where is it exactly that you know where I can get a G38 for $300?

Check GT Distributors. They have them going for like 280-290. G39's for 270ish.

I remember that thread.

I signed up to get their product notifications. Haven't heard anything yet.

Thanks Dave.

And thanks Cred'.

Cred's Cariad. I went to the GT Dist website and it shows a price tag of $414.00 for all of the GAPs.. G37/38/39.

 

[TruthNotRelative]

Dave. Maybe they couldn't work the bugs out and scrapped the project.

Probably not. But they've been putting out lots of other new stuff like their triggers etc. Probably take less time and return more profit.

I think something like a .45 GAP slide to 9mm frame probably has lots of testing and design improvements to take care of. Look how long it took Glock to come up with the G30S. Other individuals had done the same conversion but when you want to sell it to the general public you have to be pretty careful.

A 45 GAP slide already runs on a 9mm frame. The 37, 38 and 39 use exactly the same frames as the 17, 19 and 26. Lone Wolf was working on a LW 23 slide modified to take a G38 barrel. Widening the breech face, etc. Maybe JR will show up here with an update.

 

[Dave.1]

Thanks, GRR.

It's been a while and I'd forgotten the details.

I'm trying to find the info for you. GT changed their website, and finding the used pistols is now harder...

I think that is the ticket! No 38's like you had originally asked, unfortunately, but 280/290 for a 39/37 isn't too bad...

 

[PattonT]

GT's had a few G38's but they are gone now. There are still plenty of G37 and G39, and I almost bought one. However, I can not get past the thick, heavy slide.

 

[fasteddie565]

If you watch here on the classifieds they pop up every few weeks. I paid about $300 +- $25 for mine. I bought it here from a GT member.

Understood. I had never seen this slide, but it would certainly be interesting.

 

[D4RWlN]

I want one!

I asked Lone Wolf a couple of weeks ago while inquiring about a couple of other parts ,that person did not know the status of the 45 GAP Conversion


A couple of days ago I emailed Zack at LWD, as he was the one discussing it on facebook and shooting the 23/45GAP in the video, no reply as of yet
