Polymer 80 aftermarket slide for Gen3 G17 for RMR?

[ExMachina]

It won’t function with lighter loads due to the compensator, I need a lighter recoil spring. I’ve got a 15lb and 13lb plus a guide rod en route.

Same here. It's 100% with the +P stuff but jammy with anything cheap--at least it proves that the comp is workin, right? What brand of spring/GR did you go with?

It did shoot well with 124gr HSTs

What was it you were using, initially?

How does the polymer80 compare to the stock Gen3 in grip circumference and trigger reach?

I'd appreciate it when you get the chance.

After going to the small gripped P250c, the G23.3 grip feels like a fat, oiled up slip-n-slide.

I'll get you some measurements later, don't hesitate to remind me if I don't get it done in a day or so.

Friendly bump for the above info. Subjective impressions welcomed as well.

124gr plated Berry’s over 3.7gr of titegroup, which is admittedly a light load.

@Chuck Whitlock, grip circumference from front to back tapers from 2.04 below the trigger guard to 2.14” at the bottom before the start of the flare for the quasi magwell. Width from side to side is about 1.14”. Reach in a straight line from the back of the grip to the tip of the trigger ( #JustTheTip ) is 3.24”.

Completed my full size .40 couple weeks ago. Made it to the range Friday and shot about 150 round WWB 165 grain. 0 issues. It's a keeper.
Completed with all Glock parts. Including new complete Glock slide assembly.

Thanks for that.....I'm going to have to run the numbers on my Gen3 and compare. Wat is your subjective impression compared th the stock gen3 frame?

I bought one of the Brownells slides because I had read good things for the price. I assembled a Rowland special style base gun with plans to function test it before investing in a comp and RMR but realized I'm probably not at a skill level to see the benefits of a comp plus I am switching over to Berettas so I listed the 19 on Armslist without even shooting it.

Found these RMR cover plates with some options that are specifically made for the Brownell's slides....thought they might come in handy since I have more slides than RMR's at the moment. I'm pleased with the fit. No affiliation.

Way better.
