Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS OEM Slide (Stripped)

Product Overview

The Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS OEM Slide (Stripped) gives you factory Glock quality with the flexibility to build your slide your way. Glock machines this slide to Gen 5 specs and cuts it for the MOS optic system. Because it ships stripped, you choose the barrel, recoil spring assembly, internals, and sights that fit your setup. Drop it onto a Glock 19 Gen 5–compatible frame once assembled, mount your optic, and tune it for carry, duty, or range use.

How to Build & Install the Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS Slide

Safety First

• Work on a clean, well-lit surface.
• Wear eye protection.
• Confirm all parts are unloaded and safe.
• Follow Glock armorer guidance or consult a qualified gunsmith.

Assembly & Installation (Overview)

1. Install the channel liner (if not pre-installed).
2. Assemble the firing pin, safety, extractor, and related springs.
3. Install your chosen Gen 5–compatible barrel and RSA.
4. Add sights to the dovetail (or install an MOS plate and optic).
5. Align the completed slide on the Gen 5 frame rails and rack into place.
6. Perform a full function check:

   • Rack the slide

   • Check slide lock

   • Dry-fire (where legal)

   • Verify reset and smooth cycling

7. Follow optic manufacturer torque specs and thread-locker guidance.
8. Live-fire test at a safe range before carry or duty use.

Maintenance & Service

• Remove the magazine and verify the chamber is empty.
• Separate the slide from the frame.
• Remove the RSA and barrel.
• Clean the slide channels, breech face, and optic mounting area.
• Lightly lubricate per Glock recommendations and reassemble.

For advanced work or troubleshooting, use a certified Glock armorer or gunsmith.

What the Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS Slide Is Made Of

Glock forges the Gen 5 MOS slide from hardened steel and finishes it with nDLC nitride. This finish resists corrosion, reduces friction, and handles high round counts. Glock machines the MOS cut to accept factory plates and maintains tight OEM tolerances for reliable performance.

Customizations & Upgrades

Popular Options

• Optics: Mount a red-dot using compatible MOS plates.
• Sights: Add suppressor-height, night, or fiber-optic sights.
• Barrels: Choose OEM or match-grade Gen 5 barrels.
• Finish Work: Cerakote or custom coatings for style or added protection.

Note: Permanent modifications may void warranties and affect safety. Use qualified professionals for milling or porting.

FAQs

Q: Is this slide ready to fire out of the box?
A: No. This is a stripped slide. You must install a barrel, RSA, internals, sights, and mount it to a Gen 5 frame.

Q: What frames does it fit?
A: Glock 19 Gen 5 frames only. It does not fit Gen 3 or Gen 4 frames.

Q: Is it optic-ready?
A: Yes. It uses the MOS system. Use compatible Glock MOS plates and follow optic torque specs.

Q: Are sights included?
A: No. The slide includes a dovetail so you can install your preferred sights.

Q: Do I need a gunsmith to assemble it?
A: Experienced users can assemble it. If you are unsure, a Glock armorer or gunsmith ensures proper setup and safety.

Q: Is the nDLC finish durable?
A: Yes. Glock’s nDLC finish improves hardness, lowers friction, and resists corrosion for long service life.
