    Anyone have any experience with these guys?

    I have an order in to them for a G43lpk and is has been on order for a while. Be sure to check to see if they have the item/s in stock that you seek, could be a long wait... lol

    That is my only experience. I called them and emailed them on two separate occasions and received a phone call back the same day both times apologizing for the delay, but suppliers and distributors are having a hard time keeping up with demand right now.

    *edit - I'm still awaiting an SS80 frame from the Glock Store and a slide from Grey Wolf too, so.... it's just a waiting game now.

    Thanks sticky. Seems to be the status quo since the last school shooting. Think I'll give things time to catch up (if they ever do).

    Damn. Guess my 31 slide is overpriced by comparison. :o

    That's not bad.

    Makes it clear that I (over?)paid for new slide assemblies. The 32 and 31 ran me $430 shipped. Feel foolish now.

    But you did get new stuff. It’s usually a crap shoot when buying used, but I have had decent luck and this newest one is a police trade in so I’m crossing my fingers.

    Anybody have experience with KCI, Magpul, or ETS magazines? I can’t seem to find the extra ones that came with my G17 so I’ll need to buy at least one 10 round magazine for my newest build.

    Okay, I sometimes get the urge to spend on gun stuff... I've been looking at threaded barrels for the Polymer80 PF940C G19.

    I've found AlphaWolf, ATI, Blacklist, EFK FireDragon, and Suarez.

    Does anyone have experience with these and a recommendation of what to stay away from?

    I do not yet have a suppressor.

    And Buff, I've only ever bought genuine G19 mags, so can't help. I've been thinking about a 33rd Glock mag for when I eventually get a Ruger PCC...

    Factory fresh.

    No experience with the aftermarket mags personally, but I have seen plenty of the magpuls pop up at the range.

    I run Lone Wolf or Storm Lake (non threaded) in my builds and my factory Glocks, they seem to be more accurate than I am and have had no feeding issues with any of them.

    I’m thinking factory or Magpul, from what I’ve been reading I believe I need to stay away from the Korean mags.
    And I did forget to add one item that I haven’t procured yet, I was laying in bed last night and realized I probably need to switch extractors in that 22 slide to work for the 9mm barrel.

    I run magpul, glock and ets mags, no issues with any of them. The Magpul base plates are slightly thicker than a factory Glock baseplate, but they are easier to disassemble as a result of the design of the baseplates.

    I’ve been looking at some sites that list the extractor as the same for 40 and 9, and some that show it as different. Anybody ever run the 40 slide with a 9mm barrel without an extractor change? Wondering now whether or not I should wait to buy the new extractor or try it the way it is.

    Thanks, the price difference doesnt seem to be much, but I can be cheap bastard at times.:D

    Figured I better add that I already have a 9mm ejector to replace the 40 ejector, in case anyone was thinking about that little jewel.
    I did go ahead and order the 9mm extractor as a just in case as recommended since it is a pretty cheap item.

    Well I finally found my G17 magazines, I’m wondering what dumbass put them there.:o
    After stripping my slide I went ahead and just ordered all new parts with the exception of the extractor rod and spring. I’m sure the firing pin and the firing pin safety would have been ok but with the wear on them it’s just easier to go new. The channel liner pulled out easier than I thought it was going to, I do have the tool for pulling it.
    The night sights were shot so I’ll replace them with a basic set since this will be a range toy.

    You're going to want to get a half back plate (the orange one) to be able to visually confirm that the trigger is completely disengaging the safety plunger as it releases the striker.

    Figured I better put my costs in this thread since it is the cost thread.
    Complete G22 upper, came with all lower parts to complete the build, eBay purchase $339.98 and free shipping.
    P80 lower from Brownells on sale &119.95 and free shipping.
    I already have a magazine so $0.00
    Ready to shoot as a .40S&W $459.93

    Now I did convert it over to 9mm so I had to buy a conversion barrel from Lonewolf for $99.95 and free shipping, but I did sell the 40 barrel for $70 so add the difference of $29.95
    I also changed the extractor and ejector, but had the 9mm ejector on hand so add another $19.95 and free shipping to the total.
    I already had a couple 9mm magazines from my G17 that my daughter has graciously borrowed. Kids, go figure. ;)
    $509.83 total
    It was a police trade in so we shall see how this one runs, it’s a little stiff right now but I need to work it in a little bit I figure.
