Key Features to Look for in a Glock Slide
1. Optic Cut Compatibility
Choose a slide that supports your preferred red dot sight system:
- RMR / RMSc cuts for Trijicon, Holosun, and Shield Sights
- DPP cuts for Leupold DeltaPoint Pro
2. Front & Rear Serrations
Deep-cut serrations make slide manipulations easier and provide a more aggressive, tactical look.
3. Threaded Barrel Support
If you’re running a suppressor or compensator, opt for a slide with proper clearance and profile.
4. Durable Coatings
Premium finishes like DLC, Cerakote, or nitride protect against corrosion and wear, even in harsh environments.
5. Complete vs. Stripped
Decide whether you need a complete slide assembly (with internals) or a stripped slide to build out on your own.
Glock 17 Gen Compatibility
- Gen 3: Most widely supported. Huge aftermarket support.
- Gen 4: Slight changes in recoil spring assembly—make sure you buy a Gen 4-specific slide.
- Gen 5: Internal specs and front-end geometry differ from Gen 3/4. Only use Gen 5-compatible slides.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: Most slides are sold stripped. Check each product description for details or filter for “complete slides” if needed.
Q: Will these work with Polymer80 builds?
A: Yes, many Gen 3 slides are compatible with Polymer80 Glock 17 frames. Be sure to check tolerances and frame fit.
Q: Do I need a gunsmith to install a slide?
