LOL, no scratches. A little oil on it from the factory. Must be the photo angle. The mag release and the slide stop haven't been changed yet (Vickers puts them in the box then you have to change them yourself) and the mag base plates aren't on it yet they come in the box for self install too. Once I finish putting on all the extras I will post more pics.

Love mine! You will too Mr. Mike......

Great gift, happy birthday.

I wonder that too. I would prefer to have it done when I get it. I wasn't expecting a bunch of loose parts in little bags.

Looking forward to a head to head shooting comparison against my Gen 2 G19.

Great gift, happy birthday.

Yes she did good for sure.

So full of win, awesome gun and awesome wife!

Happy birthday, bro, enjoy your thirties.

Congrats, man.

The mag release and slide stop changes are straightforward. I followed a couple of YouTube videos after Googling Vickers Glock 19 installs for both pieces.

The mag floor plate change can be more of a headache. I use a rubber vice grip to hold the mag, a punch pin to angle in from the base and get the spring out of the way, and then gently hammer a screwdriver on the non curled edge of the footplate to get it about an 1/8th to 1/4 inch down. The punch pin will invariably pop out. It can then be gently pulled off or hammered off a bit more.

Putting on the new floor plate (the Vickers's plates) is pretty straightforward once you've figured out the removal. I already flipped all my Glock 19 mags to grey floor plates, and Glock 32 mags to black Vickers's floor plates. There are light blue, brown, orange, and green colors available too.

They make it really easy to pull mags out, but as Blaster rightly pointed out, I was so happy with their "grippyness" that they were teaching me a bad habit of using my support hand to pull the mag out on a slide stop/emergency mag exchange (when one should simply let the mag drop while using your support to quickly get a new mag). So I've corrected this before it became habitual. I also like the color coding to quickly distinguish similar sized Glock mags for different guns.

Btw, my recent Vickers Glock 19 from BBP also had that bit of factory slide grease but was in immaculate condition.

Even though the floor plates are a pain in the @ss to change I have changed them many times before on numerous Glocks so I am not too worried about that. I will do as you suggest and pull up the YouTube videos for the other parts.
