Superb kit to complete your build
Add this kit in your Glock builds and take the guess work out. This kit is complete and runs flawlessly in Glock uppers. I have this in a few g19 builds and it made completing my slide simple. The quality is excellent and tolerances are to factory spec. Highly recommend.

Solid Kit
Same parts Shadow Systems uses in their "Gucci Glocks". I bought this kit to use in a rebuild of a Gen3 17 RTF2. Specifically chose this kit for the machined billet steel striker, the aluminum backing plate, and the price. All parts are top notch, fit perfectly, and should provide years of trouble free service. No junk here!

Glock 34 clone
Target shooting, everything went together well, so far functions well, but time will tell.

Shadow Systems slide completion kit
Haven't been to the range yet but the kit installed flawlessly in my Brownells window slide for a 9mm build. The parts required no special handling as far as ]fitting or polishing. The finish on the parts seems to be of good quality and work well in the slide. Will update further after range time. Thanks for a great kit!

Overall OK.
Overall OK. Did not use firing pin safety because it was not finished and oversize.All other parts worked good. If I had to do it again I would just buy Glock brand parts.

What I got worked ok
The portions of the kit that I actually received have so far worked fine, but the sealed package omitted the extractor plunger and the firing pin spring cups. Those parts cost next to nothing so I just ordered them separately rather than bother with CS but it did mean I had to wait for yet another shipment to complete my gun.

Flimsy channel liner
Flimsy channel liner. Used a tool and it still instantly mushroomed out and was ruined. For this price I would expect a liner with tougher plastic. Now I have to order another one and wait a week. Disappointed.
