An adapter for utilizing a handgun slide manufactured for use on a common generation and version of handgun frame to make its use capable on a newer generation or versions frame having different dimensional features. The adapter makes allows use of a slide assembly comprising of a slide, barrel, recoil spring and guide from previous generations on more recent generations of the same handgun. The adapter is mounted on the previous versions dust cover creating a new geometry to allow for proper function inside the newer generation's frame. The adapter includes a bushing. The earlier generation's slides have an outer surface shape smaller than the newer generation slide with the adapter creating the geometry necessary for compatibility.
