ohhunt Slide Rack Assist Compatible with Glock 17/19/22/23/24/34/35/36

You can use a gen 5 17 barrel in a gen3 17 slide on a gen3 19 frame. Since the gen 5 full size barrels were standardized at the 19 lug spacing. I used the lone wolf guide rod on mine but now wonder if the gen 5 17 guide rod would have been the correct length.. To install the Glock 17/Glock 19 slide parts kit on your pistol frame: First, field strip your pistol by removing all components from the frame and remove any remaining small parts, such as pins or springs. Next, install each component of your new slide onto its corresponding part on your frame (barrel assembly first).

That is some really good info! Now what about the reverse? 17 frame with 19 slide and barrel. If that can be done without much modification we don't need to buy all gen 5 stuff to make an integrally compensated glock 19/17.. Understanding Glock Frame and Slide Compatibility The Glock family of pistols is renowned for its modular design, leading many to wonder about the interchangeability of parts between different models. While some components are indeed interchangeable, the question of whether a Glock 17 slide can fit on a Glock 19 frame is a common one.
