LONG SLIDE FOR GEN3 GLOCK® 19 NITRIDE Reviews & Ratings

LONG SLIDE FOR GEN 3 GLOCK® 19

The Long Slide for Glock® 19 by Brownells lets you enjoy the benefits of a full-length G17 slide on the compact G19 frame. Extra length gives a longer sight radius for better shot placement, while also aiding in recoil control. The shorter G19 grip is an excellent option for those who carry concealed and have trouble with larger grip "printing" but are OK with the full-size pistol’s longer slide. And it aids shooters with smaller hands who find the full-sized G17 grip cumbersome.

Other features of the Long Slide for Glock® 19 include crisp, wide serrations at the front and back for a secure, positive hold when racking the slide. The "window" on the top reduces weight and enhances air flow to keep your barrel cool during long practice sessions - plus it gives your pistol a unique, futuristic aesthetic flair.

Our extended slide comes with standard factory front and rear sight cuts, so you can install any aftermarket sights that fit a Glock®factory slide.

Due to changes in barrel-to-frame geometry caused by mating the longer slide with the smaller Glock®19 frame, a standard Glock®17 barrel won’t work with this slide.

Fantastic concept and engineering !

I still do not understand all the confusion about using P80 ( PF940Cv1 ) frames. I think there may have been an issue with how some of these P80 frames were completed by customers using hand tools instead of cutting the rails on a mill. I bet if you measure those malfunctioning P80's rails using a digital caliper you find one or both of the rails out of spec. I would not bet my life on a P80 built using hand tools to cut the rails.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Initial Assembly

Assembled the same as previous slides from Brownells, no difficulty there. There are two things I would like to have known beforehand however. I chose to (attempt) to install a Riton Optics X3 Tactix PRD. The base pattern is the same as an RMR, so it slotted into place perfectly. The hardware supplied with the optic is a different thread pitch than the slide and the hardware supplied with the slide is too short! I'm betting a trip to the hardware store should resolve this. The second thing not made clear in the online description is which guide rod to use. I ended up selecting one for a G17 (the slide is longer, right?). I chose poorly. The guide rod for a G19 appears to work (it goes into place as it would on a regular length G19 slide). Once complete(less the optic, for now!), I test fitted it to one of my known functional frames and everything seems to operate correctly. As of this writing, it remains unfired.

4 stars due to no threaded barrel support

I would give this a 5 star rating, but for some reason, Brownells doesn't offer the threaded barrel for this anymore as a separate item. 4 stars because you will now have to source a threaded barrel for this from a custom shop instead of the 19LS barrel that used to be offered from Brownells.

Be careful

The problem with buying the XL Glock 19 Slide is Brownells doesn’t have any barrels to complete the slide… I bought 5 slides before I learned they can not be completed. I guess you can throw them at the target or bad guy…very upsetting and expensive!!? Usually Brownells is very customer driven… If anyone has a solution for barrel & recoil spring I’d appreciate any ideas. Thank you

WILL NOT FIT RED DOTS

I got bot the 17 and 19 slides and neither will fit any of a half dozen standard size red dots including RMR, Leopold, Vortex, etc. WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A SLIDE THAT WONT FIT STANDARD RED DOTS?????? 2 THUMBS DOWN

Great Idea but so far, bad implementatio

Finish is decent. Issue is with the machining on the safety plunger hole. Had one where the plunger got stuck when first inserted it. Great customer service, they shipped me another slide. Same problem. the upper portion of the hole is too tight. Seems the thickness of the nitride finish is all the difference it needs. I have polished the plunger to a mirror finish and it now inserts, but still binds in the 'fire' position. While taping the bound plunger out, the finish on the edge has already chipped. Waiting on a call back from tech, but I'm 2 for 2 on these not working.
