Brownells slide, Glock OEM internals (save for the Zev Pro-Conn Connector that mates up with a NY1 trigger spring, my preferred trigger in 2nd and 3rd gen).
Have used G19 and G17 mags, with and without factory +2s, as well as Magpul 17 and 21 rounders.
80% with a cheap Combat Armory barrel, 30% with a stock G19 barrel.
That front pin walking out is easily cured by melting the frame a bit at each end of the pin, to block it in.
I love the gun the more I shoot it, have even used it in some "drill of the week" over on PF. The grip is outstanding.
I don't get it, maybe some of the frames are lemons.
OP, have you made sure there's enough clearance in the bottom of the frame, as was suggested? I know yours is serialized and prebuilt, but I'd check that.
May be a tolerance issue/defect in the Brownells slide also. Sounds like things are tighter than they should be. Maybe the Apex extractor will help.
What brand of barrel are you using?
