Did it fit on the frame properly? Does it slide smoothly?  Congrats on the fitting then.

We had a custom made fixture we designed to do that. Without it, it can be a horror to install! Good job Tat! Now, let's see a photograph of the completed unit please. . . . . .   ;-)

It's none of my business, but why did the pistol need a new slide?

There was a small batch of early slides where some of them developed a crack near the rear. We were never sure if it was a bad "mill run" or something else. The stat sheets for the 17-4 T6 SS showed good material. There were a very small number of those slides, but anything that came back for warranty in the early days always got a new slide and barrel to be safe. Not all of the early slides had issues, it just depended on the "luck of the draw", as with anything mechanical. That situation was corrected immediately and there was never an issue with them again.
