Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Couch-Commando:
I've decided my new G19 slide will be going to ATEI as soon as I test fire it and make sure it works. I was wondering, are the top serrations useful for anything? My reading suggests that they are meant for racking the slide off of clothing, but this seems moot for a pistol with a red dot. Also, has anyone gone for the universal cut instead of the fitted cut and regretted it? I want to do the universal cut because I'm not sure I want to keep my current RMR forever. I already broke it once, and intend to eventually upgrade to the type 2 as funds allow. Finally, I think I've decided I want to try the compensator route. Not sure if I want to go with KKM or something else with the TBRC comp. Does the TBRC comp perform the same as the KKM? I've owned both the KKM and the TBRC. To me, using fiochhi 124gr, I thought the KKM worked much better. Sold the TBRC. |

Any tips on how to get rid of the glare when you turn up the intensity. When I get 3rd from brightest on it the glares pretty bad. The dot turns into a cross.

I've been giving a comp a lot of thought lately but one question for those with experience with them ? Why not get a micro comp that's so much smaller than that huge comp ? Wouldn't that be better ?

I had some flats milled on the barrel, just behind the threads, for the set screws in the comp and installed a Freya magwell. Pretty much done now.

Got to fondle and put a few rounds on a real Roland Special at a handgun class Saturday. Love the enhanced serrations that ATEI does. Going to have to get those added when I send off my G17 slide for an RMR cut. Gun just wants to shoot fast too with that KKM comp
 . Wish I’d left the TBRC comp on my gun for the class so I could’ve compared them directly.

Did anyone's KKM barrel come rusty? The barrel threads have a fair bit of reddish discoloration - am I seeing rust or some sort of anti-seize? It's hard to imagine rust given that these barrels are hardly lingering on the shelf.
I'll take a closer look tonight if no one else has seen this phenomenon. |

I was wondering if anyone has gone with a "universal" or "general" RMR cut rather than a fitted one. I already broke one RMR, and am worried that if I break it again and have to have it replaced, it might not fit right if I get the fitted cut. I'm also not sure I'm going to keep my current type 1 RM06. I kind of want a bigger dot, and want a type 2 that is supposedly more robust. Either way I'm going with ATEI. I intend to ship it off as soon as I make a decision on this.

If anyone is interested, Brownells is selling in-house Gen 3 slides for 17s and 19s.
SSD Press Release Brownells Link They have different options, but the top serated optics version is very similar to the ATEI Roland slide and runs $230, while the ATEI slide work for an OEM slide runs over $400. I don't want to discount the all reputed work ATEI does, but this seems like a really good option for Gen 3 owners.

You need to be careful considering these slides. I know on it's face, the edges of the slide are not chamfered like standard glock slides which can lead to issues fitting in certain holsters. The "bosses" are also not really bosses per se as much as they are where the thread screws in. Fellas in the know have reported them to be more prone to breaking because of that. If it's a defensive gun, buy once cry once. Alternatively, jagerwerks and CNC holsters do quality cuts at a cheaper rate than ATEi without sacrificing quality.

I own the 19 w/ RMR cut and put my SilencerCo threaded barrel w/ a TBRCi comp on it and haven’t had any issues at all so far, albeit with a low round count not even worth mentioning. The only thing that I’m not a huge fan of is that they went to a smaller 4-40 screw vs the 6-32 everyone else seems to use, but it could be due to the issue you mentioned. The slide serrations are very nicely done and it took an OEM slide kit without issue. I have shot it with my RMR yet as that slide is off getting work done. As soon as I get it back I’ll mount it on this slide and take some pics. If nothing else, they are a good option to compete with Midway’s Swenson slides for Polymer80 sterile builds. |

Is there any change I need to make to my recoil spring for it to function properly? Thanks! If you insist on shooting 115 gr plinkers, you'll have to drop the recoil spring strength by using an exhausted RSA (more than 5000 rounds through it) or switching to an aftermarket guide rod and spring assembly. ISMI 15 pounds works great. If you have a Gen 4, just get a $12 adapter plate so you can use Gen 3 aftermarket springs and guide rods |

So, latest on the comp saga.
I like my ATOM G19 comp-less. I might build a 19 roland at some point, but I just threw a thread protector on the beat threads and called it good. Anyone with some time and ability to fix that comp feel free to throw me an offer. |

They've been super responsive everytime I've had a question. I asked for one update mid September and got an immediate answer. I understand custom work takes time so I'm not going to constantly hammer them for status updates. |
