IRON SIGHT SLIDE FOR GLOCK® 19 GEN 3 Reviews & Ratings

IRON SIGT SLIDES FOR GLOCK 19

The Brownells Iron Sight Slide for Glock®19® Gen3 enables you to build a custom Glock®-style pistol with a slide that sports distinctive cocking serrations. The front serrations aid in manipulating the slide, especially for quick chamber checks AND for clearing the occasional jam (caused by problem ammo, of course!). Both the front and rear serrations are cut to the same depth as the Glock® factory slide serrations to ensure preservation of structural rigidity. The top edges and the front around the muzzle area are chamfered to reduce the risk of snagging on clothing and to make holstering the pistol easier. You can get your Brownells Iron Sight Slide for Glock® 19 Gen3 with a solid top and wraparound front cocking serrations.

Accepts Gen3 Glock® 19 internal parts
Factory cuts for iron sights
Sturdy machined 17-4 stainless steel
Hardened to Rockwell "C" 41-44 for superb wear resistance
Durable, non-reflective matte Black Nitride finish
Channel liner not included; please order separately (see note below)

Like all Brownells slides, the Iron Sight model for Glock® 19 Gen3 is precision machined from solid 17-4 stainless steel billet to factory specifications inside so it is compatible with any factory or aftermarket Gen3 internal components. Outside, there's a Glock® factory rear sight dovetail and a standard Glock® front sight tenon cut ready for any factory or aftermarket sights you choose. This is the perfect companion "top-half" for a custom pistol built on a Polymer80 80% frame.

Brownells Gun Tech™ Note: Channel liner required for these slides. Channel liner is a press fit and requires a tool to install. We recommend #777-100-017.

Disappointed. Poor quality.

Poor machining and quality control. Attached are two photos of concerns. 1. The front sight hole has a bubble that prevents the screw from going in tighter than it should 2. You can clearly see the machine marks in the area. The slide is also very rough when put on with lower. I would not recommend this. Poor machining, poor quality. Save your money and buy something else.

It's okay

There was an issue with the extractor depresser plunger would not drop into the lining because of a small piece of metal that was stuck in the center of the hole you drop the depresser plunger into. It was preventing my extractor depresser plunger from completely sliding in I had to use my drill bit to scrape it out. Other than that it's okay seems to also cause a gap between the bottom of the slide and top of the frame it wiggles just a bit. But for the money it works I've shot 1000+ rounds with no problems. Seems to be a problem with QC for sure though.

Poorly cut, doesn't work.

Would give 0 stars if I could. I got this for my Polymer80 build, and bottom line is that it doesn't work. Something on it is machined way too tight so that when trying to get it onto the frame it will fight you. Also when trying to rack the slide, it is on there so tight that if you pull it back and slowly let it go forward it will only go about halfway before becoming stuck. Even for awhile it would get stuck unless I locked it back and let it go forward by pressing on the slide release. When I took it to the range it would only fire 1 shot before becoming jammed or not ejecting the round. Absolute garbage, stay away from it.

Rusty with a blocked plunger channel

I have purchased other items from Brownells so I was surprised to find the item in such poor condition. When I received the slide it was covered in rust. It cleaned off without much issue until I went to install the slide parts. The extractor plunger channel was completely blocked seemingly with rust. I have no idea what went wrong with the QC process here but it went very wrong.

Out of spec

good looking slide, but extractor/plunger hole is way too tight, had to sand paper it out to work properly. so was the striker channel, then stock hight Glock sights don't work, because the gun will shoot 6 inches low at 10 yards. Also since this slide doesn't have rounded edges like OEM slide, it won't fit in any kydex holsters I have, and I got 4 of those. long story short, I'm sending it back
