The slides that come with it front and left/right in s/m/l especially the side straps they are on a very very tight plastic rail when you push them on. I noticed the first time I went to the small set it took me 2 or 3 times before they were actually seated correctly. It looked like it was set right, but I could tell there was some gap, just take them off and you will see how tight the tolerance is on the rail.

I discovered the thin areas as well up front around the finger grooves. Not because of flex, but I saw sunlight coming through. I am not cool with it, and frankly if I had seen it before buying would not have. I feel like if I drop the gun and it catches a rock in the right place it is punching through.
As it is, I ignore it and hammer away. If someday I crack the grip in the 6 thin areas so be it. I do see it as a design flaw and cause for concern. |

So even though something works as advertised, has never been a case of breakages or premature wear but you think it should be different, it's a design flaw? Lol. I bet you have a tough time in life every day.

There are no cracks, it is just really really thin material.

It bothers me as well, but that doesn't mean it's any less durable than any other polymer pistol. It seems to me that there are a variety of polymers, so it might still be durable and hell. So far I haven't heard of it breaking, and I assume there would be some stories on the internet if this was the case. |

So if I plan on exceeding 91k, I should be concerned. I better start reloading 9.

Never noticed any frame flex or give before reading this thread. After checking my vp9 sure enough I saw the aforementioned 6 thin points of light. I dont have a p30 but I checked my hk45 and it doesn't have it. I'm not to worried about it unless I hear some issues arising in the future. Mine doesn't have a very high round count probably> 400rounds of ball and mixed defensive ammo from federal 124g hst, Remington 124g golden sabre and speer 124g gold dot+p I'll probably never experience any problems with mine, because it's not a hard use gun or in my everyday carry rotation and pretty much just serves as my bump in the night gun
