Upgrade your Glock 17 Gen 5 with a premium optics-ready slide designed for shooters who want modern styling without compromising reliability. Precision CNC machined from heat-treated 416 stainless steel, this aftermarket Glock-compatible slide combines lightweight performance, aggressive styling, and long-lasting durability.
Unlike traditional windowed slides, this design features a single top window port that reduces reciprocating mass while maintaining solid sidewalls for a clean appearance and added rigidity. The distinctive zigzag front serrations provide excellent grip for press checks and slide manipulations while giving your pistol a bold custom look.
Finished in an ultra-hard Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the slide resists wear, corrosion, scratches, and carbon buildup. The low-friction finish promotes smooth cycling while making maintenance easier after extended range sessions.
The precision-machined RMR optic cut accepts many of today’s most popular pistol red dot sights, allowing you to build a competition pistol, duty handgun, or defensive firearm with confidence.
Complete your build with one of our Glock 17 Gen 5 barrels and Glock slide completion kits. We offer assembly & test firing options too.

sound of freedom – This was a great set up. I loved being able to customize the set up. Only issue I had was my own fault as a newb to building these. I used a heavy barrel in a slim hand guard. It makes adding attachments tough with clearances. Hoping someday to also get an AR10 from here.
