Do you have pics or measurements of the rear rails before or after failure?

I can post some after pics when I get home from work.

The rear rails have become so thin they will no longer hold the slide. They fold upward. The material is too weak.
FYI Cuda this isnt my first rodeo. And Baracuda is slow overweight car try a mustang

Are you done complaining yet?

They sold an unfinished hunk of plastic. It wasn't a kit, it wasn't a snap together model. It was an unfinished part with vague instructions that the end user is supposed to fit and complete on their own.

If youre not capable of fine workmanship, troubleshooting and fitting skills or gunsmithing work, you shouldn't be trying to build a gun. Start with legos or something.

Myself and thousands of other people have these frames working flawlessly, and Polymer80 has already shown great customer support to anybody with a manufacturers defect by replacing the frame promptly.

Cuda I posted pics as a response to your lameness. Check it.

What was P80's response?

It's a little bit difficult to see the rails (clearly) in the pictures; I'm wondering, did they wear on the top surface or on the bottom surface, or both?

Taking pictures of rear rails is hard. Here are mine.

[shawnmitchell]

I think these pics also show the need for a shim in the trigger group grip housing.

My rails look almost exactly like that.

The shim is 51mm x 15mm. I cut a rectangle from a credit card (gift card actually) and dropped it in to trace the cut out.

Looks like you were too aggressive on the rails...

Yeah? I went very slowly until I passed the 1", vertical slide-return-to-battery test. I guess we'll see how it holds up.

I'm really looking forward to the PF940c with the steel rear rail assembly though.

[shawnmitchell]

Looks like I'm at about 1.6mm thickness.

I havent contacted them about it. I doubt if they will care. They dont consider the trigger pocket issue a defect. Ive never had to shim any of my steel builds with a piece of credit card.

Ya sorry about the pic quality. I believe they failed on the under side.
