Why Upgrade Your Glock Slide?

A Glock handgun is renowned for its reliability, simplicity, and functionality. However, upgrading your Glock slide can significantly enhance its performance and style, giving you a firearm that not only functions optimally but also stands out. From improved accuracy to aesthetics, customizing your Glock slide is a popular choice for firearm enthusiasts.

At Route 66 Guns & Ammo, conveniently located halfway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, we help customers in Barstow, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Phelan, and Victorville find the perfect Glock slides and accessories to take their firearms to the next level.

Benefits of Upgrading Glock Slides

Custom Glock slides offer several advantages that enhance both form and function:

1. Improved Accuracy

Many upgraded slides are designed with precision cuts and mounts for optics, allowing for better target acquisition and improved accuracy during shooting.

2. Enhanced Durability

High-quality aftermarket Glock slides often feature durable coatings, such as Cerakote or DLC, which provide resistance to wear, corrosion, and harsh conditions.

3. Aesthetic Appeal

Custom slides come in a variety of designs, finishes, and colors, allowing you to personalize your Glock to match your style.

4. Customization Options

Upgraded slides often feature serrations, optics-ready cuts, and additional mounting options for accessories like red dot sights and compensators.

5. Compatibility

Many aftermarket Glock slides are designed to fit seamlessly with standard Glock frames, making them an easy upgrade for both beginners and experienced builders.

Top Glock Slide Upgrades

Here are some popular options to consider when upgrading your Glock slide:

1. Optics-Ready Slides

For those looking to add a red dot sight, optics-ready slides come pre-cut for popular sight brands like Trijicon, Holosun, or Vortex.

2. Custom Serrations

Improved serrations enhance grip for easier slide manipulation, especially in high-pressure or competitive environments.

3. Lightweight Cuts

Slides with ported or skeletonized designs reduce weight and improve cycling speed, enhancing overall performance.

4. Unique Finishes

Stand out with custom finishes such as Cerakote, anodizing, or DLC coatings that offer a balance of durability and style.

5. Threaded Slides

These allow for the attachment of compensators or suppressors, giving your firearm added functionality.

How to Upgrade Your Glock Slide

1. Choose the Right Slide

Select a slide that fits your Glock model (e.g., Glock 19, Glock 17) and suits your intended purpose, whether for self-defense, competition, or aesthetics.

2. Gather Necessary Tools

You may need basic tools such as a Glock slide disassembly tool, punch set, and a sight pusher for proper installation.

3. Install Accessories

Add optics, new sights, or other accessories based on your chosen slide’s features.

4. Test Your Firearm

After installation, ensure your firearm cycles properly and test it at a range for accuracy and reliability.
