Meh
No idea why they chose the RMRCC footprint. Once i got it I noticed you either use the plate and install a rear sight or put on a $500 optic. One slide came with the threaded inert for the optic seated too far so i couldnt get the extractor spring and rod seated the whole way. Wouldnt buy again.
Poor quality
I wish I didn’t have to write this review, but I feel like it’s needed. The slide came with rust in the threaded holes for the optic mount. When I tried installing the internals from my stock G48, the extractor spring wouldn’t fit all the way into the slide. I found a machining burr halfway down the hole preventing the spring plunger from seating completely. Also, the rmrcc pattern only fits one rdo; the trijicon rmrcc. Brownells took the defective slide back and gave me a refund. Good on them!
Great concept but constant issues
I really wanted to like this. It was going to be an upgrade/update to my 43x into a slim glock 19 with a red dot.. However, I had constant failure to feed issues. It seems like the spring assembly was not strong enough or slide was too tight of a fit. Then, the guide rod broke. The plastic guide rod end caps broke off and fell out of the slide. Maybe a metal guide rod is what is needed to last and to help with the failure to feed issues. I can't carry for use until this is sorted out. Very disappointed.
Really wanted this to work
I really wanted this to work so I could replace my factory slide without getting it milled. It looks great and feels well built however I can not get it to work on my completely factory G48. I built the slide out with OEM parts and also tried using a Brownells slide parts kit. I am having an issue where the slide will not consistently go into battery after firing. It will fire, eject the spent casing and load a new round without issue but it will not completely reset the trigger. I ended up exchanging it for another one and it had the same issue. I only fired a handful of rounds through it and the slide looked pretty beat up. compared to my OEM which has seen over 1k rounds.
