Dave,
that slide is numbered to the gun. If you replace it, you have just then created a mismatched shooter. The value of your artillery will drop about $500 plus. If you can sell it at all. Thats not including the cost of the slide and the time you spent destroying a collectible artillery just to make it pretty. If you wanted a mismatced shooter, you should have bought one in he first place and saved yourself that loss of money.
