Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS OEM Slide (Stripped)

Product Overview

The Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS OEM Stripped Slide gives you a factory Glock slide ready for customization. Glock machines this slide to exact OEM specs and finishes it with a durable nDLC coating. Because it ships stripped, you can choose your preferred barrel, internals, sights, and optic setup. This slide works perfectly for duty builds, competition setups, or precision upgrades.

Drop it onto a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS–compatible frame after installing your components, mount an optic using MOS plates, and build the pistol your way.

What the Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS Slide Is Made Of

Glock forges this slide from hardened steel and coats it with an nDLC (nitride) finish. This finish reduces friction, resists corrosion, and handles high round counts. Glock machines every surface to tight tolerances, which ensures smooth cycling and long service life.

Customizations & Upgrades

Popular Options

• Optics: Mount popular red dots using Glock MOS plates
• Barrels: Choose OEM or aftermarket match barrels
• Internals: Upgrade to enhanced firing pins or extractors
• Sights: Install suppressor-height, fiber-optic, or night sights
• Finish Work: Add Cerakote or custom coatings

Note: Permanent modifications may void factory warranty and affect safety. Always use qualified professionals.
