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.

Slide fitting required. The slide would drag when going in and out of battery enough that when live firing the slide would only travel at most 1/2 inch back with spent casing still about 1/4 of way in chamber, same for when manually racking slide slowly on empty chamber it would get hung up and not go fully into battery, after trial and err with 2 different barrels that work fine on other guns, and using 5 different factory frames 1 of which is for this host gun I finally narrowed the problem down to the little shelf on the rear right inside of frame that comes in contact with the connector. Apparently Brownells quality control people have never heard of micrometers, thankfully I'm patient and know how to fix guns with out any hand holding

Poor Fit

I was very disappointed with the slide I received as it would not fit or function on any of the frames I tried it on. The slide rails were so tight it would not fit on a Glock 19 or P80 Compact frame. So I had to spend many hours filing and polishing to open up the rails until it would at least fit onto a frame and had to use a lot of lube and slide rail break-in compound before it would even cycle, and it it still needs more work because it will not function reliably. I was kind in giving it two stars only because all the Glock slide parts fit as they should.

high quality but....

I recently decided to build a glock 26L by chopping a 19 frame and then topping it off with this slide. I wanted to do this since i have carried my 26 in 19 holsters for a long time and decided this would be a the best option. I recieved this slide in, and to my surprise there was already a channel liner in it. My local shops gunsmith brought it out to me and they were just as confused as me. But I assembled it and first thing to note was the striker block was an extremely tight fit and struggled to work at first. A little sand paper would likely fix that. Nonetheless i finished assembly and put it on the frame an due to the very boxy edges it does not fit in any of my kydex holsters. I have tried 3 brands both inside and outside the waistband. I will try loosening them some more but this one will most likely have to be returned. All that aside, seems to be a quality made slide and you wont beat the price.
