What the Glock 45 OEM Stripped Slide Is Made Of

Glock forges each slide from hardened, high-strength steel. The factory nDLC (nitride) finish resists wear, lowers friction, and provides strong corrosion resistance. Glock machines slides to strict OEM tolerances so they deliver consistent lockup and long service life when you add OEM or quality aftermarket parts.

Customizations & Upgrades

Popular Options

• Optic Mounting: Mill the slide for an MOS cut or choose a pre-cut MOS slide.
• Sights: Fit night sights or fiber-optic dovetail sights.
• Finishes: Apply Cerakote or custom coatings for unique looks or extra protection.
• Professional Milling: Add ports, serrations, or lightening cuts — always use a certified gunsmith.

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

FAQs

Q: Does this slide include the barrel and internals?
A: No. This listing ships the stripped slide only. Add a barrel, recoil spring assembly, and internals separately.

Q: Will this fit my Glock 45 frame?
A: Yes, if you have a standard Glock 45 frame. Verify part numbers and compatibility before you buy.

Q: Is the slide optic-ready?
A: The standard stripped slide uses dovetail cuts. Choose a MOS-cut slide for direct optic mounting or have a gunsmith mill the slide.

Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes — most competent users can install a barrel and RSA and drop the slide onto the frame. Follow Glock’s instructions or use a qualified gunsmith for optics or detailed work.

Q: Will customizing the slide void warranty?
A: Permanent modifications may void the factory warranty and can affect safety. Use a certified professional for modifications.
