Glock 26 Gen 3 OEM Slide (Stripped) 

Product Overview

The Glock 26 Gen 3 OEM Stripped Slide gives you genuine Glock quality in a ready-for-build slide body. Glock manufactures this slide to factory specifications and finishes it with the proven Tenifer/nitride treatment for durability and corrosion resistance. Because this is a stripped slide, it does not include internal components, barrel, recoil spring, or sights making it ideal for custom builds, replacements, or upgrades.

Use this slide on a Glock 26 Gen 3 compatible frame, add your preferred internals and sights, and build a compact pistol that balances concealability, reliability, and shootability.

What the Glock 26 Gen 3 OEM Slide Is Made Of

Glock forges the Gen 3 slide from hardened steel and treats it with a Tenifer/nitride finish. This process increases surface hardness, reduces friction, and resists corrosion. The result is a slide that withstands high round counts and maintains consistent performance.

Customizations & Upgrades

Popular Options

• Sights: Add night sights, suppressor-height sights, or fiber optics

• Slide Milling: Add optic cuts or serrations (professional milling only)

Note: Permanent modifications may void factory warranty and affect safety. Always use a certified gunsmith for slide milling or advanced work.
