One other little detail, you don't have to 'fully' remove the frame tabs. They can protrude just a tiny bit (a few thousandths or so) and not interfere with anything. They do not have to be 'perfectly flush' with the top surfaces of the frame.Well, I'm ready to drill the holes in the PF940C - ugh. I never drill perpendicular holes, even with the drill press. Yes, I suck at drilling.
I chose to go the hand file route instead of attempting to use the end mill. It just seems like overkill. The videos of milling out the
barrel block are ... interesting ... and something I wanted to avoid.
Took about 2 hours of filing, checking, filing. But I wanted to go slow to avoid any obvious screw-ups. After the drilling, I intend to use high grit sandpaper to finish the rail tab removal.
This will be my first "modern" handgun since 2013 - and I don't need an HQL for it.
Now I'm thinkin' it'll be a lonely Austrian 9mm and it should have some friends speaking the same language...
Ahhh... I wondered if the tabs needed to be flush. I test fitted the slide and it seemed that what was left of the tabs didn't interfere with anything.One other little detail, you don't have to 'fully' remove the frame tabs.

There is a fair amount of clearance between the top of the frame and the underside of the slide, so there's room to play there.Ahhh... I wondered if the tabs needed to be flush. I test fitted the slide and it seemed that what was left of the tabs didn't interfere with anything.
Red items are needed (if the ZEV trigger does not include a trigger pin)..Ok, I need some help please. I have the pf940C frame. I purchased the complete G19 Gen3 slide from Dan at BBP, a set of meprolight sights, and a Zev Fulcrum trigger with all the parts.
When I was purchasing the parts, I took the LPK out of the cart :sad: I don't want to buy the full LPK because I don't need to spend $50 for parts I don't need.
Here is my question. Listed are the parts contained in the LPK. Which ones do I need to buy individually, and do I wanted to get the "extended" mag catch and slide lock? I have put an * on the parts I think I need. Any ideas on the fastest way to get them would be welcome.
Magazine Catch Spring*
Magazine Release*
Trigger Housing Pin*
Locking Block Pin*
Slide Lock, Slide Lock Spring*
Slide Stop Lever with Spring*
Trigger Housing with Ejector
5lb Connector*
Trigger Spring
Trigger with Trigger Bar
Trigger Pin

ETA - I can't be sure from the pic, if the ZEV trigger you have includes the trigger housing... if not, you will need that as well.. It sort of looks like it's in the package, but I can't be positive.
Glad to help, I know it can be frustrating at times... lolThanks Sticky. That is extremely helpful. I think I will need the trigger housing as well. You saved me from another bad day when I wouldn't have what I needed to complete it. I may end up getting the whole kit. I am sure someone here will need a trigger...maybe even you.
Here is the trigger:

Complete Trigger Kit contains the trigger, trigger bar, trigger block, ejector, connector, trigger spring, and a lightweight stainless steel firing pin safety plunger and spring to further refine the trigger pull. Comes with a reduced-power striker spring to produce a lighter-feeling trigger for competition, and the factory-weight striker spring for daily carry and duty use.

The trigger block and trigger housing are one in the same, the plastic part behind the trigger bar that the disconnector fits into and it has a little metal section on the top/front (the ejector). Looks like that is part of the kit as well as some other upgrades to the slide parts (safety plunger and spring and striker springs), so you don't need the 'trigger housing' or trigger block, that's part of the kit.
Glad to help anytime... that's what makes this community great!Perfect. You are correct.
I am gathering the parts together on LWD's website and will order when I know I got it right. Don't be surprised if I have another question for you.

Glad to help Bro, you did well with your first build!Sticky is the 80% whisperer. He helped me out immensely. Can't thank him enough !
Jumping on the 80% train, I do have one of the first gen P80 G17/22/etc bodies waiting for me to get around to it (and get a slide - might make it a fowtay, might go with 9mm). Can these be done without a drill press, or do I have an actual need now to pick up a new power tool? I'll look back through the thread for links to helpful videos, I'm sure the yousetubes or Full30 can help there...
Serial number is not required as long as you retain the gun for personal use. If you ever sell or otherwise transfer it, it must have a serial number.
