P80 Compact Slide Assembly -PF940C/PFC9 – Cobalt – 9mm

Description

Product Overview

The P80 Compact Slide Assembly for the PF940C/PFC9 frame in Cobalt is a complete, drop-in upper assembly designed for builders seeking a high-performance, feature-rich upgrade or replacement. This 9mm slide assembly is engineered specifically for the popular Polymer80 compact “Glock 19-sized” platforms. It is an ideal solution for experienced firearm enthusiasts who build or customize their own pistols for enhanced performance, competitive shooting, or reliable personal defense. The assembly arrives ready to install onto your compatible P80 compact frame, eliminating the need to source individual components. Its standout Cobalt Cerakote finish provides both exceptional corrosion resistance and a distinctive, modern aesthetic.

Key Features

• Complete, Ready-to-Install Assembly: This is not just a stripped slide. It comes fully assembled with internal parts, barrel, sights, and recoil spring, saving you time and ensuring proper component compatibility.
• Durable Cobalt Cerakote Finish: More than just color, the industrial-grade Cerakote ceramic coating offers superior protection against wear, corrosion, and chemicals, ensuring the slide maintains its appearance and function under hard use.
• Suppressor-Height Night Fision Night Sights: Features high-quality tritium night sights that provide a clear sight picture in low-light conditions. The suppressor-height design allows you to co-witness with a mounted red dot sight or clear a attached suppressor.
• 1/2×28 Threaded Barrel: The included threaded barrel (standard 1/2×28 thread pitch) enables the secure attachment of muzzle devices such as compensators or, where legally permitted, a sound suppressor.
• Aggressive Front & Rear Serrations: Machined serrations at both the front and rear of the slide offer a positive grip for effortless manipulation, whether performing press-checks, chamber checks, or clearing malfunctions.
• Enhanced Slide Design: Built from robust materials, the slide incorporates an optimized geometry for reliable cycling and a modern, tactical profile that reduces weight without sacrificing strength.

Performance & Applications

This P80 Compact Slide Assembly is built for specific, demanding applications where reliability and enhanced features are paramount. For the competitive shooter in USPSA or IDPA Carry Optics divisions, the slide’s optics-ready footprint (when paired with a compatible slide cover plate) and suppressor-height night sights allow for a rapid transition to a red dot setup while maintaining backup iron sight capability. The threaded barrel and smooth cycling characteristics also make it an excellent base for a home-defense or duty pistol where the addition of a compensator can help manage recoil and improve follow-up shot speed.

For the dedicated builder, this assembly solves the common challenge of parts compatibility. Instead of purchasing a slide, barrel, sights, and internal parts separately, this unit ensures everything is matched and fitted from the factory. This is particularly valuable for creating a reliable, compact build intended for everyday carry (where legal) or as a trusted backup firearm, as the night sights and durable Cerakote finish are assets in a defensive context. It transforms a PF940C/PFC9 frame into a complete, high-functioning pistol with premium features.
