Is it compatible with Holosun 507C or Trijicon RMR optics?

Yes. The slide has a standard RMR/Holosun 507C footprint cut. It uses standard 4-40 mounting screws, which are included with most optics. No additional adapter plates are required for direct mounting.

Does it fit a standard Glock 17 frame?

No. This assembly is designed specifically for the P80 PF940v2 and PFS9 polymer frames. While the internal dimensions are Generation 3 Glock 17 spec, the external rail interface on a P80 frame is different, preventing reliable function on a factory Glock frame.

How long does shipping take?

FrameSmith processes orders within 1-2 business days. Standard ground shipping typically takes 5-7 business days for continental US delivery. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for a 2-3 day delivery window.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit my frame?

Returns are accepted within 30 days if the product is unused and in original packaging. The builder is responsible for verifying frame compatibility first; we recommend checking our guide on [how to check Polymer80 frame rail depth consistency](/blog/how-to-check-polymer80-frame-rail-depth-consistency) before purchasing. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective.

Does this work with aftermarket Glock 17 threaded barrels?

Yes, any Generation 3 Glock 17 pattern barrel will function in this slide. The included match-grade barrel has a standard profile, so swapping to a threaded barrel for a suppressor or compensator is a straightforward drop-in procedure, assuming the aftermarket barrel is in spec.

Expert review

I mounted this slide to a freshly completed PF940v2 frame and conducted the standard FrameSmith 100-round reliability test using 115gr and 124gr FMJ ammunition. The initial slide-to-frame fit exhibited a consistent 0.005-inch clearance along the full length of the rails, which I verified with a machinist's feeler gauge before the first shot. Comparing it directly to a Brownells G17 RMR slide assembly, the FrameSmith unit demonstrated superior barrel lockup consistency. Over a 5-shot group at 15 yards from a rest, the FrameSmith assembly produced a 1.8-inch group, while the Brownells slide averaged 2.5 inches with the same ammunition and shooter. The difference is attributable to the tighter chamber machining and more consistent hood engagement on the included match barrel. The honest weakness is the included polymer sights. During repeated slide racking drills, the rear sight exhibited slight lateral movement after 50 repetitions, requiring a light tap with a sight pusher to re-center. They are serviceable but lack the staking or set screw retention of metal sights, making them a temporary solution at best. I recommend this assembly to builders who want a complete, optic-ready system and understand they will likely upgrade the sights. Skip this if you are building a suppressor-host, as the lack of a threaded barrel and suppressor-height sights adds significant cost. For a reliable, feature-focused slide that saves time and machining cost, this assembly performs as specified.

About this product

The P80 Full Size Slide Assembly is a complete, drop-on ready slide system for PF940v2/PFS9 frames, designed to replace a Glock 17's slide without fitting. FrameSmith builds this assembly to a strict machining tolerance, ensuring a functional build within an average 5-minute installation window. This review is based on our standard 100-round reliability test and direct comparative measurements.

What is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly used for?

This assembly is used to complete a Polymer80 PF940v2 or PFS9 pistol build with a full-size G17 slide profile. It is a direct replacement for a factory Glock 17 slide assembly on a compatible aftermarket frame, requiring no gunsmithing adjustments for initial function. The kit includes all necessary internal components, saving approximately 45 minutes of sourcing and assembling individual parts like the striker, extractor, and recoil spring.

How does the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly compare to the OEM Glock 17 slide?

The FrameSmith slide assembly offers an optic-ready RMR cut and a match-grade barrel, which the stock Glock 17 slide does not. It provides a measured 0.9 oz weight reduction over the factory steel slide due to machining and material selection, translating to a slight reduction in perceived muzzle flip. However, the OEM slide has a proven track record for durability over tens of thousands of rounds, while this aftermarket assembly offers a modern feature set for a custom build.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The complete slide assembly weighs 13.7 oz (388 grams) without an optic mounted. The slide's external dimensions are 7.32 inches (186 mm) in length, 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) in width at its widest point, and 1.26 inches (32 mm) in height including the fixed sights. These dimensions ensure compatibility with standard Glock 17 holsters and maintain a 0.005-inch clearance fit on a properly milled P80 frame.

Who is this NOT for?

This assembly is not for builders who require a suppressor-ready slide or who are building a compact frame like the PF940C (G19). It is specifically machined for the PF940v2/PFS9 full-size footprint. Builders seeking absolute, proven OEM reliability for a duty weapon should also consider a factory Glock slide over an aftermarket assembly, despite the lack of optic mounting.

What's in the box?

The box contains the complete slide assembly, including the machined slide, match-grade barrel, recoil spring assembly, striker, extractor, and a set of polymer three-dot sights. No tools for installation are included, requiring the builder to supply their own 1/16-inch hex key for optic mounting and a standard punch for sight adjustment if needed.

Is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly worth it if you already have a frame?

Yes, for builders who have completed a P80 frame and want an optic-ready system. It eliminates the cost and complexity of sending a slide out for milling, which typically adds 4-6 weeks and $150-$200 to a project. Compared to sourcing and assembling individual components, this kit reduces part count errors and ensures mechanical compatibility.

Pros & cons

What works

Weighs 13.7 oz — 0.9 oz lighter than a Glock 17 OEM slide
Includes RMR cut — saves $150-200 and 4-6 weeks vs. slide milling
Drop-on ready assembly — reduces build time by approximately 45 minutes vs. sourcing parts
Black nitride finish — provides 65% more corrosion resistance than standard phosphate

Trade-offs

No suppressor-height sights — requires a separate $60-$80 purchase for co-witness with an optic
Polymer three-dot sights — considered a placeholder; most builders upgrade immediately
Match barrel is not threaded — cannot accept a suppressor or compensator without replacement
