Barrel issue
You should probably let people know that the gen5 17 barrels work just fine
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.
Well made,works well, overall very good.
Assembly is SOP for a glock slide. Tolerances seem really good. Easily functioned on 3 different G19 sized frames, Gen3 and a P80. I will say that the nitride finish is not very good. It's easily scratched off and rubbed off. If you're looking for a safe queen this might not be the one for you. If however you want a nice G17 length sight picture on a G19 sized frame for carry or work this is a very nice slide. Only other issue I would mention is that this uses a G19 sized guide rod not a G17 length one.
