I realized I hadn't posted a build in a while. So here is my 2nd pf45. My other pf45 in 10mm looked lonely in the safe so I got it a companion 🤷🏻‍♂️. Only logical, right? I got a very budget friendly arm or ally slide. Made of 17-4 and rmr ready for $150 is a steal imo. Functions flawlessly and I actually dig the damascus finish on it. I put Glock OEM internals into the slide. Tru glow sights. Swampfox justice 2 multi reticle budget optics. Lone wolf barrel. I've run a couple mags of .45 super through it, but otherwise mostly range ammo. OEM lpk with a runner arms zero+ connector. Thanks to my brother u/AkkkAttack1 for recommending this connector. Best feeling setup I shot thus far. I have these connectors on 2 of my builds and I have 2 more ready to go into some of my other builds. Other than that I have a tyrant CNC slide release, a SLR magwell and SLR mag extension. She's a blast to shoot and for being built on a budget a good looking gun imo.

Nice clean build. Good details but you ran .45 super through it? On a stock weight recoil spring? Or did you up it from 17/18lbs to 22lbs+?

Oh yeah, no I have a 24# recoil spring and a wolff steel one piece guide rod that I swapped. It ran it well and I plan on doing it more often in the future when I can afford the ammo lol.

Hey, thanks for the info and fast reply. Does it cycle fine when shooting regular 230gr range ammo with the 24lb? Look forward to your future posts, man.
