Glock 17 / aftermarket slide and barrel stovepipes

The only reason I can see for an aftermarket slide is if a gun you have is missing the slide and you are trying to save a few dollars. And at that, you are risking it not working in more than one way.

Spend a little more and get factory parts.

I have 2 G19's with aftermarket slides. I bought them solely because A: I didn't want to mill the stock slide B: its cheaper than having it milled and C: i get front end serrations. Both are dead reliable and have no issues. They're both for range competitions and are nearly never carried.
 
There's a lot of decent aftermarket slides, I would still run an OEM striker though. But also, OP said that the slide was lost in the mail when it was sent out for milling so that's a good reason. The Zev slides are good, there's some other underlying issue with it.

We have already established in another thread that the factory recoil spring is too strong for a compensated barrel and sometimes when an optic is added.
