Here's a good option for a pf940c slide

On the full size frame the front rails are metal and incorporated into the locking block and you have to mill out the rear slide rails from the plastic frame, but on the new compact frame both the front and rear rails are both metal - the front still being part of the locking block and the rear a stainless steel unit held in place by the trigger housing and a pin.
A much better system than the full size that I imagine should be just as durable as a regular Glock.

Just ordered the G19 80% (stippled). Going to give it a whirl.

Who did you order it from?
polymer 80?
I can't put an order in through them. They want me to go to a polymer dealer from their webpage

just finished my build..when you do it, make sure the recoil spring slot is, cleared. i did a dry fit with just the rails and and locking block..it functioned fine until i did a finally assaembly, the recoil spring was getting caught up some how and causing the slide to bind..i sanded it down some more and it works perfect, didnt even use a dremal, sand paper and small clippers and a small file set this is the compact model i did

Just got my untextured one in the mail. The molding and fit and finish are much better as previously noted. Can't wait to get it running.

I just put 1000 rounds through my dedicated .22lr glock. Had a few double feeds, light primer strikes and failure to extract during the first 500 rounds. After I sprayed the upper internals with clp, it functioned flawlessly on the last 500. Total cost of the project was
$150(Frame)
$50(Lower parts kit)
$300(complete 22lr slide with 1 magazine)
$27(extra magazine)
Around $530 not including existing tools.(Punches,dremel,vise)

Just to poke into the dialog, I've had good luck with Advantage Arms for both standard and large frame Glocks.

If I understand you correctly, I took an already registered Glock and swapped in the Advantage Arms upper on occasion. That doesn't require a separate registration.
I'm talking about buying all the parts online and finishing it out. Since the serial wouldn't be on the frame, Could you still register it? (I realize this may be a question people don't want to answer because of my low post count, I understand if this is the case)

Absolutely none of that matters to you as a gun owner in MA, CMR940, EOPS testing, etc, are only binding against dealers in the context of dealer based sales or transfer of firearms. Outside of that context, that stuff is irrelevant.
ETA: If a dealer were to sell you a new glock in MA tomorrow, it's not illegal for you to own, and keep it. The state might go after the dealer, but that's not your problem.

until our POS AG changes the "rules" again, in which it still won't matter
