Glock slides for Gen 1-3 frames and Polymer80 builds — stripped, shop-assembled, and Build-Your-Own configurations. Inventory covers Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 43, 43X, and 48 footprints. Pick the cut and finish that matches your build; assembled slides ship ready to drop on your frame.
What to decide before you buy
- Optic cut — full-size Glock slides (G17, G19, G22, G23, G26) are usually cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint. Subcompact slides for the Glock 43, 43X, and 48 are cut for the Shield RMSc footprint. The two are not interchangeable. Check our RMR vs RMSc vs Holosun K footprint guide before you order an optic.
- Finish — DLC is the hardest and most corrosion-resistant. Black Nitride is the standard-duty finish at a lower price. Cerakote ships in colors (FDE, OD Green, Graphite Black). See our finish comparison for real-world wear data.
- Generation fit — most of our slides are cut for Gen 1-3 frames. Gen 4 and Gen 5 frames use a different recoil spring assembly and trigger bar shelf. Confirm generation before ordering.
- Stripped vs assembled — stripped slides need a barrel, recoil assembly, and a slide completion kit (firing pin, extractor, plunger, cover plate). Shop-assembled slides come built in our Florida shop with the barrel, internals, and cover plate already installed.
Optic mounting screw specs
Cover plate screws are 6-32 x 1/3". Optic mount screws are 6-32 x 7/16". We recommend the screw kit packaged with your optic — Trijicon, Holosun, and Swampfox all ship correct-length hardware sized for their footprint.
