G29: convert to .45 with G30 or G30s slide?

I have a 2nd Gen G29 (10mm subcompact).


1. Can I convert that to a G30 or G30s by adding a new slide?

2. I read that the new G30s is a 4th gen upper- does that matter?

3. Could I put a G36 (slimline .45) frame on my G29?

4. Would I need a new extractor?

Or or or...

You could just leave it as the best caliber of all time and just call it a day

You would need a complete Glock 30 upper, I'm not sure about a 36 slide. Glockmeister sometimes has them in stock.

the 30s is a third gen 36 upper,the extractor is included in the slide-either a 30 or 36 slide will work fine,the 29-30 lower frames & parts are all the same,-jeff

I've read that the G30 upper will fit and function on the G36 frame (some use that config for competition), so I expect the G29 upper will function on the G36 frame as well, BUT there is still the issue of the mag. What would you use for a 10mm mag that would fit the G36? G29 and G20 10mm mags certainly don't fit the G36.

It works. Been using a 36 upper on 29 frame for two years and about 2K rds. You'll need 30 or 21 mags.
