Brownells has the textured frames in stock. If you get the C&R discount and use one of their $10 off and free shipping codes, you will get a great deal.

Are most people using their stock Glock serial numbered slides and barrels? Wondering if the new frames are so comfortable that this is the case?

BradMacc82 · Mar 29, 2017

Wouldn't see why not. I just snagged a factory fresh slide assembly and ran with it.

Almost all of the slide assemblies sold are take-offs that the retailer parts out from complete guns. Factory replacement slides are an S prefix serial number, barrels are an L. If it has a full serial number on it, then it came off of a complete gun.

Ebay has Vickers G19 slides for $495

They are going up in $$ with demand. I picked up a Vickers slide on GB for $400 a few weeks ago, brand new take-off with Wilson Combat sights.

The Wilson sights alone are worth $125. Most of the OEM G19 slides are right around $410 and then you'd want to upgrade the sights anyway. I really like to Wilson sights and the Gold bead shows up nicely.

I agree, I really like the sights.. the standard G19 slides were about $50 less, but that was a few weeks ago, I'm sure they have gone up lately with all of the demand for slides.

One would do better to just buy a Police trade-in, even if you stick a new barrel in it and use that for the build. It gives you everything you need for probably less than a new slide assy alone.. lol

I guess several of my G19 registered lowers will be enjoying a boat ride soon. j/k

Well son of a bitch, found a holster in my 'drawer o' holsters' that actually works with the 31/32 Hybrid. Damn Galco Matrix (# M5X472) I picked up for the M&P.45 a few years back.

Suddenly, I'm glad I didn't sell off all those old/unused holsters.

It pays to hoard?

I found that my G19 build fits really well in a Theis holster I have for a G30. The sticky holster I got for the 19 works well with the compact frame too. :thumbsup:

Some times it does..., I'd actually planned on disposing of those holsters last year - but said to hell with it, I'd never recoup the loss. It paid off.

I'll have to keep that in mind for the 19. My mother of all people, has a frame showing up this week - going to do a 19L Hybrid. She has a shoulder injury, so I figure between the 17 slide/barrel and 9mm, it should be something she can shoot w/out aggravating the shoulder.

It'll be interesting to see if she still has that horrible anticipation - aim for the face, but hit in the groin.

Well, the point of aim may not correspond to the intended point of impact, but it's hard to argue with the potential effectiveness of a Groin hit if the target happens to be a Male of the species.. :lol2:

You go Mom..

She's shot that way for the past 25+ years, almost never fails to land dead smack in the groin. Funny watching guys on the firing line wince and cross their legs when they see her impacts.

I've always told people, don't break into my parents place - depending on who shoots, you may end up dead, or wishing you were dead. :lol2:

In case you were not aware the 17 and 19 have a different locking lug.

Lone wolf and KKM used to sell extended length barrels to run a 17 slide and lone wolf still has the slide adapter but I cant find a long barrel anywhere.

Bar-sto can make one but not worth the expense to me.

I wonder if the locking block rail from a pf940 will work in the 940C?

Well aware, went thru that process with my 31/32 Hybrid. Even more difficult to find a 32 barrel that'd work with the 31 slide - w/out having LW cut it and crown it.

Lone Wolf still has the 19L barrels, which won't mean a True 17 Long-slide, but a standard 17 slide on a 19 frame (19L is 4.49", 17 is 4.49"), so only .45" of barrel length difference, but an improved sight radius.

I guess I could section the locking block from the full-size, but I don't have enough faith in my fabrication/welding skills to attempt that, yet.

I looked on LW website I found out they used to sell them but I couldnt find it. Only ported or threaded.

Granted, not for a TRUE long-slide set-up - but a standard length 17 slide on 19 frame.

BradMacc82 · Mar 29, 2017

In hindsight, I should've spent the extra $30 or so, and had LW cut the extended 32 barrel down to 4.49" with a shallow recessed crown - but I was impatient and wanted the build wrapped up asap.

Live and learn.

Holy crap thank you. I looked through the site a couple of times and all over the web.

Will be ordering on friday. Thanks again.
