Re: Slide width on small bore
There used to be the 'Wide Glide', but they're out of production. Maybe someone around here has a spare for you.
M/K Drawing do, but 71 mm wide max... if you want something significantly wider, see if you can get the Kuehnl part, or it's going to be a hand bent custom job.

Shires, Besson and any German make will have small bores with nice wider slides. Rath maybe too but not sure.
