Good buy
I have five SCT frames a 17 , two 19's and two 43. I've had zero issues with them. I' ve used Brownells, PSA and Aim slides. They've eaten everything I fed them and again I've just never had any issues. Now of the reviews the few issues I read, I believe to be user-induced build issues? If they took it to a gunsmith I'm sure they'd be sorted quickly.

SCT Frame
Good fit and finish on the frame, arrived at my FFL quickly and assembly was standard as with any G19-G17 clone
G19 SCT frame
Great looking frames both online, and in person. Have not been able to play with or assemble due to the FUBAR waiting game for firearms, but I'm sure they will work out just fine!

SCT 19 Frame

Really grippy!
The frame has deep texturing which allows a firm grip to control recoil. I have big hands and with an added magwell my little pinky has something to hang onto. I installed the internals and slide assembly and everything fits perfect.
If you build one of these, it would be a good idea to acquire an armorer's inspection plate for the back of the slide so you can look inside the assembled gun to verify that the trigger mechanism is functioning properly.

Looks good functions good
Really pleased with the frame. How can you to wrong with the looks of it and the price. Shot it with a Zev slide and it functioned great. Would definitely buy again.
Great Frame at a Great Price
I used this frame to build a G19 clone. I used all Glock OEM parts except a Live Free Armory slide, Faxon barrel, and Zev trigger. It went together with no issues and has functioned 100% with all different types of ammunition. I like the grip texture and I don’t get any slide bite on my medium to large size hands. The only complaint is that the standard size magazine release is tough to engage, so I switched it to a G34 extended release that works perfectly.
Comfortable
I really like the frame in comparison to the original. I don't have the slide bite from my large hands going over the top of the back strap. The grip does need slight more texture on the back strap and front of grip, but it is a nice feel. It brings the grip to a similar level as a gen 5 for a lot less money. The shelf that is made for reference and your support thumb feels good too. I only have a 75 rounds through it so far. Some holsters are not compatible though.
It's on a g23 .40.and helps to handle recoil better with the more comfortable grip. Well worth the money.
Great product.
Great feeling lower, easy to complete installing lower parts kit. Functions well.
