Good fit
The slide assembly was easy and the fit was very good. Finish was very good.
A good product at a very resonable price
I had no problems at all with installing OEM Glock parts into this slide. It fit the frame and functioned just fine. So I was very satisfied with the Brownell's Glock 19 iron sight slide.
worked perfectly
just what i needed for my build....................
Known Issue [Solution]
A lot of people who purchased this product (and similar Brownells Glock slides) have stated they experienced consisted ejection issues. I was experiencing this issue as well, and was worried the money I spent on 4 separare Brownells slides were wasted. Luckily I found the solution... if not already done, you should change out your Gen3 ejector for a Gen4 or Gen5 ejector. Please be aware, I'm NOT saying to replace the extractor. I went through multiple extractors without any improvements. The ejector is the small piece of bent metal protruding from the trigger housing that knocks the spent casing away. Not being a moving part I did not assume that would change anything, which is why I neglected to replace it sooner. But it made a world of difference. You can usually get an OEM Glock Gen4/Gen5 ejector from some sites for $10-15 with the trigger housing, but you don't need to replace the whole housing. Look online for HowTo videos on replacing the ejector on its own. It takes about 5 minutes at most.
Iron sight slide for Glock 19 Gen 3
The slide was an excellent value, looks great, and functions perfectly on my Polymer 80 frame. I am completely satisfied with the purchase of this slide and highly recommend this slide for your Glock or Polymer 80 frame.
First time build
First time assembling a pistol. This slide fits very well on the Freedomwolf frame I assembled. Bought the slide parts kit from Brownells also. Machining on the slide is very well done. Forward serrations are very useful! I would definitely buy another slide when the time comes.
Build purchase
Building a G19 from scratch. On arrival I was impressed on the quality of the slides machining. For the price I thought it was a great value. Would recommend it for anyone building a g19 or as a replacement.
Surprisingly Good Quality for the Money
After several videos recommending the Brownells G19 slide, I bought one for my P80 build. For the great price, I expected there would be something I didn't like. My slide is perfect. It arrived very well packaged in a heavy plastic tube. My P80 is not ready yet, but it operates perfectly on my two Glock 19's.
Awesome slide!
Bought it for a poly80 build and was pleasantly surprised, no issues at all everything fit perfectly looked better than the pictures.
Great slide
