Glock Slide Options

[Red Dawn]

Is the market this good that people are willing to pay as much or 2xs what the guns worth for a milled slide with a match barrel. Are they worth the upgrade.


Aero Ghost Slides

Lone Wolf Slides

ZEV Slides

I think if you are already having the slide milled for a reddot then why not. If I ever have my slide milled for one I'll probably get some front serrations put on.

Otherwise it's not worth the hassle and cost to me.

 

[BackWoods]

If you got the $ yeah. So for me, no. Lol

 

[Red Dawn]

There's plenty of options. You can buy the MOS factory Glock ready for red dot installation. You can send your slide off to get milled for 1/3 the price of some of those slides. So you want a lighter unique Glock I can understand that but $750 for an extra slide seems a bit much to me.

I've seen guys put thousands into those Zev Glocks between slide, trigger, barrel, and stipple...fucking ridiculous and makes the gun look like a toy. However, the triggers are nice.

With the exception of milling for a red dot and maybe some front serrations, it's a waste for me. I'd rather put that money in a trigger and maybe a grip reduction....... Or maybe some 22lr.....

I would actually like to see options for other firearms as well. I want a stainless slide for my Shield but they dont make bi tone shields.

True you could get a 22 conversion kit and mags for that price and plink for cheap

There's always a kote job for that if you wanted to.

Not to get off topic, is there anyone on here that can get it done in less than a month?

@FatAlbert you here

@fyroc maybe bead blasting and/or polishing would be a good look you're after

@fyroc maybe bead blasting and/or polishing would be a good look you're after

The main reason is because I always scratch the shit out of my carry guns and just dont want it to be as noticeable. I've only had the damned thing for 4 months and the blueing is already coming off. Bead blasting may work. I hear the near ones have an odd color in the more hardened places of the slide. I be a bead blast + titanium coat would look great. My only problem is that it's my carry gun and everywhere I looked that does it has a month plus waiting time. I guess I could just use my J Frame until it's finished.

They should provide a loaner so you can show off their work till you get yours back.

Maybe I'll just do it myself.

That looks good too. I've had a couple sights replaced on M&P the gunsmith tends to hate them. They are the toughest to remove.

Instead of a bead blast I bet I could do it by hand. Soak it in vinegar over night and just polish it until it comes off. Worst case, I'll have to coat it.

 

[chance]

$450 glock 21
$200 slide milling and cerakote
$200 glock threaded barrel
$40ish for connector and springs
Probably $1000 or more in ammo put through it

Not too bad for a fun suppressor host. Still cheaper than a 1911 thats worth a fuck. Dont get me wrong, i really want a threaded 1911. There just arent any out there that are worth it that are under $1000

I could Cerakote it titanium and have it back in a day or two.

Let me try removing the finish first, if I fuck it up I'll send it to you.
