new style P95 uppers don't work with old frames

[SteveSatch]

I own three of the old style P95s (no rail, different shaped trigger guard, less textured). I own one of the new style. My old style are all DC only and my new style is safety/DC. Just for fun I put the new style upper on the old style lowers and it doesn't work. The trigger won't engage. Weird. Is it because of swapping DC and safety/DC uppers? I can swap my P94 uppers between DC only and safety/DC without a problem. Was there some other design change? Am I just being a moron?

I wouldn't expect a DC upper work on a non-DC frame

My DC P94 frame can use a DC only or safety/DC upper. Why wouldn't a non DC frame also be able to use both?

 

[dwd]

dunno, guess I'll try swapping some around and see what happens

Thanks

It's not the old vs the new with rail it is the difference between DC (Decock only) and Safety that is the problem.

Why can I take my P94 frame and put my .40 DC upper or my 9mm safety/DC upper on it and it works fine, but the P95 can"t do this?

SteveSatch: All you have to do to convert a DC or Manual Safety model -- is to change out the trigger bars. A manual safety model trigger bar should be installed in the older DC frame, first and then your newer slide will work. I have a complete manual safety trigger bar if you need one. Just let me know?
