Reviews & Ratings for Matrix Arms Alpha Glock 19 Gen 3 Pistol Slide — 2 reviews — Page 1

I have not tested this yet as I wish to speak to opticsplanet.com to see why I was sent the wrong color slide and if they can exchange it. I will come back and update after that. As for the side itself, it's almost more bronze than rainbow. It is an interesting color. It's not a bad color. It's actually something is consider if it was what I ordered, but I am a Master Gunsmith and this is NOT the slide my client wanted. I did present it to them and they did agree it is an interesting color. I've never seen the like. It's quite unique. I have seen Rainbow slides (created by heating metal to different temperatures thereby producing different colors. They're unique, but I'm not a huge fan. This slide, however, it's something I would probably have kept if ordering for myself and not a client. Now, as for the quality of the slide. It is well cut, within Glock specifications and contains mostly parts that are if equal if not better quality than glock, minus a couple of very minor items that are not noteworthy. It has a unique indentation just forward of the ejector chamber on both sides that creates a PERFECT place to grasp the slide and rack it. I'm VERY impressed by the cuts on the slide. Again I wish so badly that they had sent me FDE. I would have had one extremely satisfied client. More to come when I see what opticsplanet.com can do for me to correct the wrong color situation. I have always had EXCELLENT dealings with opticsplanet.com, so I do not expect...

Slide looks good. Cuts make slide very light all internals from orginal glock slide and upgrade internal fit and function well which is why has a 3/5. If you want an affordable and light slide. It's a decent choice. Now the cons. Bought three sets of iron night sights. Thinking i just bougt the wrong ones. None fit. Even with hammer and punch into place would not advance. Needed to take a Dremel with diamond blade and mark with a micrometer where to cut. Now matrix may have a parts list of compatability somewhere. But I did not find it. Likely my user error but added to frustration on what should have been an easy upgrade.
