Great value for a build
I was putting together a budget IDPA build and this fit the bill. I could have gone with another brand, but I trusted Brownell's and wasn't wrong. It's a high-quality slide and worked perfectly when mated to an SCT frame. I got the window slide and added a ported barrel and Swampfox Justice II large-window optic. Works great so far. I just wish Brownell's had a matching ported G17 barrel!

Seems not to support mounting adapter plates
Even though I am happy with the purchase as it fit and functioned without issue I was disappointed that I could not mount a RMR to RMSc adapter plate as the standard mounting screws (tapered heads into tapered plate holes) were still too long to screw into the slide. The screws that came with the protection plate have rounded heads so won't work either as the sight cannot sit flush on the plate. Am not sure there is enough meat left on the slide to extend the holes deeper so am going to put on a RMR only sight and play with it.

Glock 17 slide needs fitting
Was expecting this to be a drop in slide. Instead I needed to open up the barrel hole at the front and the chamber extension at the rear. Tried 2 different barrels to make sure I didn’t have an out of spec barrel. The front opening was .03” too small and the extension was .02” on each side too tight. Non of that is really an issue as long you have the right tools and know how. Just would have been nice to know it needed fitting before ordering.
