Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between an SCT Manufacturing Glock frame and a factory Glock frame?

The primary difference is that the SCT Manufacturing frame comes with a removable locking block, whereas a factory Glock frame has its locking block integrated directly into the polymer.

How do you install the slide lock lever correctly on a Glock frame?

Ensure the notched side faces the rear, and the small notch on the bottom engages the spring. Push the lever through the frame while ensuring the spring is properly seated underneath it.

What is the correct procedure for installing the magazine catch and its spring?

First, seat the spring into the V-notch inside the frame. Then, insert the magazine catch, aligning its shape with the frame's cutouts, and use a tool to hold the spring back if necessary before seating it fully.

Which pin secures the trigger housing assembly in a Glock frame?

The trigger housing assembly is secured by a small plastic pin that is inserted through the rear of the frame, just behind the grip area.
