I have a very slick 9mm Beretta PX4 Compact (Langdon slicked it up).
I want to go to .40 and understand all I need to do it is put on .40 slide, barrel, recoil spring and use 40 mags.
I have all the necessary pieces but they are for a FULL SIZE PX4, not the compact like I have.
The mags stick out a bit (but that's not a problem) and the slide fits on the frame.
There is also a gap (as expected) between the end of the frame and the front of the barrel.
My problem: the slide won't rack. Feels like something is "stuck," and it looks like the end of the recoil spring -- which has a "big" round "button" on the end surrounding the spring while the 9mm recoil spring does not have one is getting in the way.
My question: Will the full size .40 slide, etc. work on the compact frame? Is it me doing something wrong or are the two assemblies simply not compatible?
