Sergei Volkov’s shop notes
The SAR-19 slide kit fits Gen 3 Glock 19 frames without modification, though initial test fitting revealed slight resistance in the recoil spring channel during reassembly, likely due to the tighter tolerances of the stainless steel construction. The nitride finish is consistent, though I noticed a faint machining mark near the optic cut, which does not affect function.
Tested: 3593 rounds bench-cycled. Pocket tolerance measured: within 0.001″ on this batch. Weight (actual): 18.9 oz on shop scale. Units shipped from Las Vegas in January 2026: 136.
