The Good and the Bad
✅ The Pros:
- Reliability Track Record: Based on manufacturer specs and the 4.5/5 satisfaction rating from our 19 buyers, this assembly has proven reliable in function.
- Superior Finish Quality: The OD Green Cerakote application is even and durable. We’ve found no thin spots or blemishes on the units we’ve inspected.
- Optics-Ready Out of the Box: The RMR-cut is precisely machined and accepts Holosun 407C/507C models without adapters, a significant value add.
- Complete & Ready to Run: Saves time and hassle. The channel liner is pre-installed, and the upper parts kit is fitted.
- Aggressive Serrations: The front and rear serrations provide excellent purchase for press checks and slide manipulation, even with wet or gloved hands.
❌ The Cons:
- Fit Variation: As our staff has observed, this slide can have a slightly tighter fit on aftermarket Gen4 frames compared to Gen5. It’s not a functional issue, but it’s noticeable during initial fitting.
- Price Consideration: At $450, it’s an investment. If you don’t need the optic cut or prefer a basic black finish, more affordable options exist.
- Sight Preference: The included blacked-out rear and white dot front sights are functional, but some builders immediately swap them for night sights or fiber optics.
Who It’s For
Buy this slide assembly if: You’re building a PF940v2/PFS9 and want a complete, optics-ready upper with a durable, tactical finish. It’s ideal for builders who prioritize a proven reliability record and want to avoid sourcing and assembling individual slide components. The OD Green finish is perfect for those looking beyond standard black.
Consider other options if: You are on a strict budget and can forgo an optic cut. Also, if you already have a stripped slide or a specific, non-RMR footprint optic in mind, you might find a more tailored solution elsewhere.
What Buyers Ask
Is this slide assembly truly complete?
Yes. It includes the slide, barrel, recoil spring assembly, and a fully installed upper parts kit (firing pin, extractor, etc.). The channel liner is also pre-installed. You simply mate it with your completed P80 PF940v2 or PFS9 frame.
Will this fit a Glock frame?
This assembly is designed specifically for the Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 full-size frames, which are based on the Glock Gen3 19/17 platform. It will physically fit a Gen3 Glock frame, but we recommend using it with its intended P80 frame for optimal performance and reliability.
How is the finish holding up?
Based on our inspection and customer feedback, the OD Green Cerakote is holding up well. Cerakote is a baked-on ceramic finish known for its hardness and corrosion resistance. It’s more durable than standard parkerizing or some spray paints used on budget slides.
Does the optic cut include sealing plate or screws?
The slide includes the optic cut and appropriate screw holes. It does not typically include the mounting screws or a sealing plate for the optic itself. Those are usually provided with your red dot sight.
Have you tested its reliability?
While we don’t fire every unit, we inspect them thoroughly. The 4.5/5 average satisfaction rating across our 19 buyers to date indicates a strong track record for reliable feeding, extraction, and ejection when paired with a properly assembled frame.
Where can I buy P80 online?
You can purchase this P80 Full Size Slide Assembly and other components directly from our shop at Polymer80Guide. We are a Wichita Falls, TX-based retailer specializing in these products.
Is the barrel threaded?
No, the barrel included with this specific assembly is not threaded. It is a standard 4.49-inch stainless steel barrel with a standard crown.
