It's kind of relative to your level of mechanical inclination and metalworking experience/ability. Metal will need to be removed, precisely/equally from both sides of the slide, until it fits. This is easy for some, and impossibly difficult for Bubba. As a machinist, I'd attempt it without a second thought.

Not difficult, provided you have the tools:
- a good set of calipers, as you'll be measuring your existing slide and comparing with the new slide to figure out how much material to take off
- a set of square stones or files
- a jig of some sort to hold the slide square while you work on it on your bench vise, I 3d printed one

Try site sponsor Double Tap Sport in Mississauga. Josko builds race guns for IPSC shooters, so this should be a straightforward job for him.
We have more so any sold out dealer can restock.
Would you guys be bringing in other parts for the slide (ie: front sight, front sight pin, barrel, recoil rod and springs)?
Double Tap Sports and Tesro have and/or can order these parts for you. Thanks.
