Can anyone tell me if replacement slides are available? If so without the barrell or does the barrell have to be matched to the slide? I have a FN 40
that I just got back from having the cracked hammer group fixed. Went to the range tonight and on about the third or fourth magazine I released the slide and it went sailing. Somehow the takedown lever got flipped down. Didn't even set the gun down just dropped the empty mag and picked up a loaded one. Not saying I didn't hit the lever on accident but any ideas on what else could have caused this. Is letting the slide slam foward with rounds in the gun a bad idea. I don't usually do it that way and especially
won't now that this has happened. Anyway the slide hit the floor and is bent in on the rear where it straddles the rail. I bent it back out and measured it with calipers for straightness and seems to operate fine but
haven't fired it yet. What do you guys recommend that I do?
