This review details significant reliability issues with an Aim Surplus slide, including failures to extract, failures to eject, and random locking to the rear. The reviewer experienced these problems despite using a stock slide lock lever in a Timberwolf frame, which had previously been issue-free. The slide also showed signs of self-damage, leading to the premature discontinuation of the review at 790 rounds due to the handgun breaking in the user's hands.

This video demonstrates the cross-compatibility of firearm components between the Anderson Kiger 9C, Palmetto State Armory Dagger, AIM Surplus slides, and a traditional Glock 19 lower assembly. The test confirms that slides and frames from these different manufacturers and models can be mixed and matched effectively, functioning without issues. This is valuable for builders and those looking to customize their firearms with various aftermarket parts.

This video reviews the Aim Surplus ported barrel and slide combo for Glock Gen 3-4 frames, highlighting its performance and value. The reviewer, who paid full retail, found the combo to offer excellent shooting characteristics, significantly reducing felt recoil and improving return to zero. While the machining is simple and cost-effective, potential downsides include minor holster compatibility issues due to less aggressive slide chamfering and a slight decrease in reliability with steel-cased ammunition, though brass-cased ammunition performed flawlessly. The combo is presented as a high-value option for enhanced shooting performance.
