Drilled the holes today - fret nippers arrive tomorrow, so I haven't been able to fit the front locking block yet.   Frame was secure in jig, painter's tape holding it shut.  The holes ended up like this.  Is the frame toast?

What's the issue?

If you mean how the hole bridges through the thicker part of the frame more to the rear, that's normal.  That holes is like that on OEM glock frames as well.  The pin can then brace against that larger surface area to take the brunt of the recoil forces better.

Thank you.   I did two others today and they looked like this, so I was a bit concerned.

Yea, compact vs. full length frames, the pin holes are a bit different because the locking block/front rail parts are a bit different.  They both look okay to me.
