About this product
What is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly – PF940v2/PFS9 – Black? This is a complete, drop-in slide assembly designed specifically for Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 frames in G17 size configuration. It features a military-spec black nitride finish, RMR optic cut, and match-grade barrel for immediate installation without gunsmithing. This assembly represents the current generation of aftermarket slide systems optimized for reliability and precision shooting.
What is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly used for?
This assembly is designed for direct installation on Polymer80 PF940v2 and PFS9 frames to create a functional semi-automatic pistol. The slide weighs 14.8 ounces and measures 7.32 inches in length, providing proper mass for reliable cycling with standard 9mm ammunition. You'll achieve immediate functionality with no fitting required, making it ideal for builders who want professional-grade performance without custom machining.
How does the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly compare to Brownells slides?
The P80 assembly offers better out-of-box compatibility with Polymer80 frames than Brownells slides, which often require minor fitting. While Brownells slides typically use Cerakote finishes that wear at 2,000 rounds, this unit's black nitride treatment maintains corrosion resistance beyond 5,000 rounds. However, Brownells provides more front serration options for tactical manipulation.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This slide assembly weighs 14.8 ounces complete with all internal components and measures 7.32 inches in length, 1.26 inches in width, and 1.18 inches in height. The weight distribution ensures proper cycling with 115-147 grain ammunition while maintaining a balanced feel on the frame. These dimensions match OEM Glock 17 specifications precisely for holster compatibility.
Who is this NOT for?
This assembly isn't suitable for builders seeking a compact carry option or those working with PF940SC (G26) frames. The full-size design requires a corresponding full-size frame, and the RMR cut adds 0.15 inches to the height profile. If you're building a concealed carry pistol, consider our 308 80% Lower – Billet for rifle platforms instead.
What's in the box?
The package includes one complete slide assembly with match-grade barrel, all internal components (firing pin, extractor, springs), and mounting screws for RMR-pattern optics. You receive exactly 17 components total, including the slide itself, barrel, and all necessary small parts for immediate function. No additional parts are needed beyond your frame and magazine.
Is the P80 Full Size Slide Assembly worth it at $0.0?
At its current pricing, this assembly represents exceptional value for builders seeking drop-in reliability without gunsmithing costs. Compared to sourcing individual components separately, you save approximately 2-3 hours of assembly time and eliminate compatibility concerns. For proper installation techniques, reference our 80% Lower Receiver Jig Alignment Pin Specifications guide.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Gen 3 Glock slides?
- No, this assembly uses proprietary P80 geometry that differs from Gen 3 Glock slides. The rail dimensions and locking block interface are specific to PF940v2 and PFS9 frames only. You'll need Polymer80-specific components for proper function.
- Does it fit standard Glock 17 holsters?
- Yes, the external dimensions match OEM Glock 17 specifications within 0.02 inches tolerance. The RMR cut adds 0.15 inches to the height profile but doesn't interfere with most kydex holsters. Test fitment with your specific holster before duty use.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping processes within 2 business days via USPS Priority Mail. Most continental US deliveries arrive within 3-5 business days from shipment date. Expedited options are available for an additional $18.50 through UPS 2nd Day Air.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for uninstalled, undamaged products. You must provide clear photos of the fitment issue and your frame's serial number area. Custom-built firearms components are generally non-returnable once installed or modified.
