Glock 19 Gen 5 GNS OEM Slide (Stripped)

Product Overview

The Glock 19 Gen 5 GNS OEM Slide (Stripped) delivers factory Glock quality in a lightweight, customization-ready package. Glock machines and finishes this slide to OEM specs, then equips it with Glock Night Sights (GNS) for fast sight acquisition in low light. Because the slide ships stripped, it gives builders and armorers full control over internal parts selection. Drop it onto a compatible Gen 5 Glock 19 frame, install your preferred internals, and finish the build your way.

This slide suits duty builds, concealed carry setups, and range pistols that demand Glock reliability with user-chosen components.

Materials & Finish

Glock forges the Gen 5 slide from hardened steel and coats it with a factory nDLC (nitride) finish. This finish improves hardness, reduces friction, and resists corrosion. The result is a slide built for high round counts and long service life.
