A while back I picked up a Advantage Arms LE 17-22 convention and built a G17 Polymer 80 frame for it.
It’s fun to shoot but I kept thinking about getting a 9mm slide and barrel for the frame. But all the slides I looked at were plain vanilla or full of super fancy cuts.
A buddy of mine told me about US Patriot Armory. He said they had some nice looking slides At a good price.
I check them out and liked the look of their standard slide. The top edges were milled. They had front and rear serrations, and a little milling on the sides.
I then told myself that I really didn’t need another 9mm and put it on the back burner.
I ended up buying three more 9mm handguns. A HKVP9, S&W M&P M2.0 and a Sig M18. After buying those, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have another 9mm handgun. Hell, it’s only money.
I already had a Glock 17 slide parts kit from AIM Surplus sitting in my shop. So I placed an order for a slide and barrel kit from US Patriot Armory.

The kit arrived today. I had them do 5he slide in OD green To match the frame.
The parts fit perfectly in the slide, but the barrel was a tight fit at the ejection port. The coating Was keeping the barrel from going all the way into battery. A few light taps with a rubber mallet and everything was good.
