This pistol’s functionality is highlighted by its wide range of options regarding caliber size and ammunition capacity, making it versatile enough to handle a variety of situations where precision is required.
In addition to this, its ability to be broken down into two separate components gives users the freedom to customize their weapon according to specific needs or preferences, allowing them to tailor their experience specifically toward their desired outcome.
Overall, whether you’re a beginner or expert shooter or simply need something reliable for personal protection or self-defense purposes, you can trust that the Glock 17 Gen 3 slide will get the job done with absolute precision and reliability every time!

A tough, non-reflective Black Nitride finish boosts the slide's resistance to surface wear and protects it from corrosion.

Conclusion
While Glock pistols come with a slide that is more than adequate if your gun is stock but when you start adding weight, like an optic, the recoil spring will need to be replaced for the extra weight. These slides are designed for these issues, they pay close attention to the overall weight and many slides on the market look identical to the rest until you check the tolerances of the item.
