I'm not so sure. In both the Guns Illustrated 1977 article that I referred to, and another one from Guns and Ammo, June 1982; both James D. Mason and Jan Libourel say the same thing-the Gov't .45 slide will not work with the 9mm or Super 38 ejector. Libourel's article dealt with a 5-in-1 conversion; .45, 38/45 wildcat, Super 38, 9 mm. and the Ace .22 conversion kit. Again, he states that the .45 slide will not work on Super 38 frame, and vice versa; however he did find that a .45 Commander sized slide would work. One thing to keep in mind that in both these articles, the authors were using commercial Colt frames and slides, probably Mk. IV Series 70. Perhaps there were differences with how Colt made them, and regular G.I. frames and slides. Maybe a gunsmith could shed some light on this question.
