What I don’t get is why Glock appears to be restricting the NDLC coated components...

The 17M's that Lipsey's sold do NOT have the DLC internals (these are reported to be Glock employee purchase overruns). These 19M's likely will not either.
Here's what I found to possibly answer Post 24,
FBI ‘M’ guns have the nDLC finish on some internals including the trigger bar, connector, and slide stop lever, Gen 5 guns do not. Also, ‘M’ guns that went to a select few agencies do not have the nDLC treated internals. It’s easy to spot the difference, as the nDLC finished internals are jet black. Not gray.

TRIGGER BAR, CONNECTOR, AND SLIDE STOP LEVER. I've not seen or handled an FBI G17M or G19M and cannot personally confirm.

If these Lipsey Ms don’t have the appropriately coated fire controls, then WGAF?

It seems the Lipsey's G17M and G19M models will be configured as the originally released G17Gen5 and G19Gen5 pistols were or what the FBI received (but without specially coated internals), but no longer made that way except for Lipsey's Glocks with specially colored frames:
-front strap cut-out for easier grabbing of a stuck mag
-no front serrations on slide
Additional Options Included:
-Ameriglo night sights
-extended mag catch
-extended slide stop
The amount of variations has approached what the semi-custom 1911 makers offer. There's no ability to specify an individual Glock with specific options directly from Glock, however. I suspect there will always be some combination of options someone on the various forums will later whine about, just wait I wonder what Glock's minimum quantity is for these specially-made-to-order-Glocks (just wondering; I don't expect anyone to actually know).
What is NDLC coating going to bump up the price of manufacturing a glock to? Cost Gaston a whopping $95 now instead of $90 to manufacture?
