What the Glock 26 Gen 5 OEM Slide Is Made Of

Glock forges the 26 Gen 5 slide from hardened, high-strength steel. Its factory nDLC (nitride) finish resists wear, reduces friction, and protects against corrosion. Glock builds every component to OEM quality standards, ensuring consistent function for thousands of rounds.

Customizations & Upgrades

Popular Options

• Optic Mounting: Add a red-dot using compatible optic plates (MOS variant only).
• Sights: Upgrade to night sights or fiber-optic dovetail replacements.
• Finishes: Apply Cerakote or custom coatings for unique looks or extra protection.
• Professional Milling: Add ports or cosmetic cuts — use only certified gunsmiths.

Note: Permanent slide modifications may void the factory warranty and affect safety. Always use a qualified professional for advanced work.

FAQs

Q: Is this slide ready to fire out of the box?
A: Yes. The slide ships fully assembled with barrel and internals, but it requires a Glock 26-compatible frame and magazine to function.

Q: Is it optic-ready?
A: Standard slides use dovetail sights. For a red-dot, choose the Glock 26 MOS variant and confirm compatibility.

Q: Can I use it on a standard Glock 26 frame?
A: Absolutely. The slide fits Glock 26 frames. For optics, verify frame compatibility or use a MOS slide/frame combo.

Q: Does it include sights?
A: Yes. Factory-installed dovetail sights are included. Users can swap them for night sights or remove them for optics.

Q: Do I need a gunsmith for installation?
A: Most users can perform a drop-in installation following Glock instructions. Seek a professional for optic mounting or sight zeroing.

Q: Is the nDLC finish durable?
A: Yes. The nDLC finish improves hardness, reduces friction, and resists corrosion.
