Great looking slide, but quality control is lacking - TRYBE Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide - Version 1

MikeOhio's Review of TRYBE Defense Glock 19 Pistol Slide - Version 1
Received the gen3 g19 slide in black with Vortex Viper cut and was immediately impressed by how much better the slide looks in person over the advertised photos. Upon installing a Trybe defense slide parts kit I started noticing problems with the internal finishing and rear dovetail cut. The channel that the extractor plunger & spring slide into had some burs or cerakote buildup that needed cleaned out. After a few passes with a plastic rod I was able to slide the parts in place as desired. The extractor functioned great until I screwed down my Viper optic with the supplied screws, they were way to long and actually screwed down so far that the right side screw came into contact with the extractor plunger, pushing down holding it in place so that the extractor can't move or function at all. I guess I'll have to file down the screws to make them work. The next thing that stands out to me and may be a deal breaker for some folks is that the optic cut DOES NOT have any indexing post. It is simply held in place by the provided (to long) screws. On to the last issue I had with the slide, the dovetail. It is cut a hair wider than OEM causing factory glock sights to slide right through without much resistance. This is a great looking slide and with some extra work put in by the customer you can file screws, debur the channels and install a rear sight with a locking screw you can over come these issues as long as your ok with NO indexing post. Would i buy it again? No, not with other companies making better reviewed products for just a few dollars more and I won't have to put in so much extra time & money just to make it work.
Pros:
Looks
Cons:
out of spec
No indexing post
Incorrect parts included
Best Used for:
Plinking? Learning gunsmithing
Would Recommend:
No
