Faxon patriot g19 slide - Faxon Firearms Glock G19 Patriot Pistol Slides

This is a nice looking slide but I can tell Faxon doesn’t test fit these slides with parts before they send them out because at first I couldn’t even get the plunger or front sight installed but after spinning the plunger a few times in the slide & taking a needle file to the front sight they both finally installed correctly. I bought two of these slides because of bad reviews I read online. I’m glad I did because after some minor work I have one that I’m keeping but I’m sending the other one back because the barrel doesn’t lock into the slide correctly. It sits an 1/8 of an inch too high & even the one I’m keeping had to be broke in because when I tried to pull the slide back it would lock up until I got the barrel & slide mated together AKA broke in. If the slide wasn’t so aesthetically pleasing I probably would’ve sent both back but I like working on guns so it wasn’t a big deal for me personally but it’s worth mentioning for other customers. Overall Faxon needs to do better & I can’t recommend this slide unless you don’t mind ordering more than one & possibly doing some minor work yourself. These slides aren’t cheaply priced & I will be more hesitant buying from Faxon in the future.
