What’s Included in the G17 Slide Kit

Standard Slide for Glock 17 Gen 3 – Black Nitride
Built from 416 stainless steel and heat treated to 42 HRC, this full-size slide features front and rear serrations for confident grip during manipulation and press checks. The standard sight dovetail accepts any Glock-compatible sights. Black nitride finish by H&M Precision delivers lasting corrosion resistance and wear protection. Compatible with Gen 1-4 frames using Gen 3 internals.

Nitride Optimus Series Flush Cut Barrel
Premium 416R stainless steel construction with heat treatment to 42-44 RW for optimal hardness and durability. The barrel features advanced polygonal rifling with a 1:10 twist rate, providing excellent accuracy with bullet weights from 115gr to 147gr. The flush cut profile integrates seamlessly with the slide for a clean, professional appearance. Nitride coating by H&M Precision ensures long-term corrosion resistance.

Complete Upper Parts Kit (Gen 1-3)
Every Gen 3 internal component required for a functional slide assembly: firing pin assembly, firing pin safety assembly, depressor plunger assembly, extractor, channel liner, backplate, and guide rod. All parts are new production, machined to precise tolerances, and manufactured in the USA. One kit, one source, no missing parts.

Polymer Sights
American-made polymer sights with white dot front for fast sight acquisition and an unmarked rear with metal insert for durability. Standard Glock dovetail fit allows easy installation on the slide.

What Makes the G17 Slide Kit Different

Unified Component System
Every part in this G17 Slide Kit is engineered to work together. The slide, barrel, and internals all follow Gen 3 specifications, which means no fitment surprises when you assemble your build. Compatible with Polymer80 PF940v2 full-size frames, aftermarket Gen 3 frames, and OEM Glock 17 Gen 1-4 frames.

Domestic Manufacturing
The entire kit is 100% American-made. Slides and barrels are machined from domestic 416/416R stainless steel with nitride finishing performed by H&M Precision. Upper parts are manufactured stateside to precise specifications. This isn’t a collection of imported parts—it’s a complete American-built system.

Duty-Ready Finish
H&M Precision’s black nitride coating creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that handles the demands of regular carry and range use. The finish penetrates the steel surface rather than sitting on top of it, providing durability that holds up to holster wear and environmental exposure.

Precision Barrel Engineering
The Optimus Series barrel is built for accuracy. Polygonal rifling creates a superior gas seal and cleaner bore, while the 1:10 twist rate stabilizes everything from light practice ammo to heavier defensive loads. The serrated and milled lug reduces weight without sacrificing reliability, and the flush cut design provides a streamlined profile.
