• Front Slide Serrations: For enhanced control and easier manipulation, whether you’re performing press checks or clearing malfunctions, these serrations provide improved grip.
• No Locking Block Pin: A streamlined, simplified internal design exclusive to Gen 5, contributing to overall reliability and ease of maintenance.

Your Options: Standard vs. MOS – Built for Your Vision

We understand every shooter has unique needs, which is why we offer both configurations of Glock 17 slides:

• Standard Glock 17 Gen 5 Slide: Ideal for those who prefer traditional iron sights or a clean, classic look. It delivers all the core Gen 5 performance without the optic cut.
• Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS OEM Slide: Step into the future of shooting with the MOS (Modular Optic System) version. This Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS slide features a factory-machined cut for direct red dot sight mounting (using adapter plates).

The MOS system allows for incredibly fast target acquisition, improved accuracy, and a clear sight picture, making it a game-changer for competition, duty, or personal defense. Choosing a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS OEM slide ensures a perfect, factory-approved fit for your optic.

Compatibility Matters: Read Before You Buy!

Understanding the Glock 17 Gen 5 OEM slide is designed exclusively for Gen 5 Glock 17 frames. Due to significant design differences, including the ambidextrous slide stop lever and internal updates, it will not fit Gen 3 or Gen 4 frames without extensive, non-recommended modifications.

Furthermore, this Glock 17 slide is not compatible with Glock 19 or PSA Dagger frames. The Glock 17 slide is a full-size component, significantly longer and sized specifically for full-size frames, while the Glock 19 and PSA Dagger are compact models. Always verify compatibility to ensure a safe and proper fit.

Materials & Construction: Built for the Long Haul

Every Glock 17 Gen 5 OEM slide is precision-machined from high-grade steel, ensuring exceptional strength and longevity. The advanced nDLC coating isn’t just for looks; it significantly enhances surface hardness and corrosion resistance, providing unparalleled protection against the elements and rigorous use.

This meticulous build quality, combined with Glock’s proven internal design, guarantees reliable cycling and outstanding long-term performance, even in the most demanding environments.
