that guys because I'm just really impressed that the channel is being growing at the rate it has and that's all thanks to you guys but if you're new here and if you like reviews and gun builds where Durer doesn't get paid off to say nice stuff about products where I'm allowed to tell you the cons of a product then go ahead hit the little subscribe button down below it ain't gonna hurt you one of the bigger questions that keeps coming up hey bro what are your favorite glock slides that I can just go by instead of having to send my slide in to get you know milling done on it and having to wait a few weeks to get it back and I saw that question just popping up over and over again and so I decided to make today's top 5 custom glock slides that you can buy off the shelf today and stay tuned to the very end because I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on these glock slides what you need to do when you receive them to make sure they run right this is not a comprehensive list this is just the top 5 that I've tried that I prefer now I did exclude one or two slides that I have tested in the past and we'll talk about that here in a little bit because you know everything has pros and cons now I will say of these top 5 then I that we're gonna be talking about today I do have coupon codes for every single one of them I will put a link below to a blog post that I have and you'll be able to get all the coupon codes and the links on where you can buy these glock slides one thing that you just cannot deny I don't care if you're a Glock hater or a Glock fanboy the one thing you can't deny is how much freakin aftermarket support Glocks have compared to any other gun mmm peas czp 10 C's 1911's 1911 's have a lot of support but in the realm of striker fire guns you nobody has the support like the other day I was trying to find something for an M&P and I'm like yeah nobody makes that that's great or with the MMP there's only like one drop-in trigger kit that you can get now it happens to be an amazing trigger kit but you only have really one option for that so that's one thing that I love about Glock you know I don't buy into the whole glock perfection mantra however I kind of took their Glock perfection mantra and I say it's the perfect blank canvas to customize these are not gonna be in any particular order you know as far as which one I like the most I will just say this I love every single one of these equally but there are different things about each slide that I like more so than the other so let's just jump into it so number one are the Brownells Glock slides these are definitely the most affordable slides that are on this list they have these available for Glock 19 they have them available for Glock 17 and they have the Glock 19 long slide that I did a review on not too long ago and I absolutely love their slides now you'll notice here this is their Glock 19 slide you'll notice that the edges up here are very squared off and a few people have mentioned that they wouldn't fit in their holsters and I've never had any issues with them fitting into any of my holsters however Brownells did here everyone and so they fixed it and you can see that here on the Glock 19 long they got a nice little chamfer that goes all the way up it makes it a lot less boxy and more apt to fit any of your holsters that you have and with the Brownells lock slides they have a few different options um number one you can get them with or without an arm our cut on this one has been cut for an arm our downside to these slides is they don't come with a arm our cover plate however I do have a coupon code to where you can pick these up from Maple Leaf firearms he does make these so there'll be a coupon code over at the blog post it this is a slide you want to get you know though this one is like a raw unfinished one but he does do some nicer looking ones like this he can Sarah code him he has anodizing I think he even has titanium ones now and they're super freakin affordable um I think they're like twenty or twenty-five dollars but I even have a coupon code for more off of that I will say this what I love about the Brownells lock slides are one you have multiple options like I said you can get you know an armed are cut or you could choose not to get an armed are cut um you can also get them with top window cuts or you could choose not to get top window cuts I believe pretty much all of them except for the 19 long are under $200 now let's talk about the Glock 19 long slide real fast because I wanted to answer some questions that people had from my previous video so the Glock 19 long slide is essentially a Glock 17 link.slide that is made to fit a Glock 19 frame with that a lot of people had a few different questions answer to your question number one you need a Glock 19 long barrel in order for it to work because the Glock 17 barrels they have thicker lugs and if you put them in the slide and put it on a Glock 19 frame it's gonna get stuck and you probably won't get your slide off I mean without ruining the slide number two they do use the stock OEM Glock 19 guide rods which is really nice you get the Glock 19 long slide a Glock 19 long barrel you can get them threaded or non these are made by Brownells as well and like I said I'll have coupon codes and links at the blog post and you put it on your 19 frame now there is one thing that a lot of people asked well couldn't you just take this and put it onto a Glock 17 so I tried that and what I did was I took this barrel out I put a Glock 17 barrel in it put a Glock 19 guide rod put it on my Glock 17 frame and it won't work now you can fire it and it will shoot rounds however the downside is this little cutout right here for your slide lock is moved forward on the Glock 19 slides and so yeah you can shoot rounds but you're not gonna get that last round hold open that you get if you just ran a regular Glock 17 slide now there are other options available for taking a Glock 17 slide and making it work on the Glock 19 which we'll get into in the future but like I said right now these are awesome slides especially for the price now what are the cons of these slides con number one is you get like one or two designs like that's it con number two is you don't get to choose many of your colors you just get black and I tried now I will say the nitride holds up way better than any sarah code ever thought about holding up if you choose to go with the one that doesn't have the window on the top the serrations will actually cover the top of the slide now one quick note about rmr cuts guys for aftermarket glock slides none of these are gonna be cut for any optic except for Trijicon RMR and what that means is only the Trijicon RMR will fit this that is a big question that I get there might be an adapter for the shield sights RMS because it's smaller but you're not gonna be able to fit a vortex to them you're not gonna be able to fit a Leopold to them um however hello son did just release a new red dot and I'll have a link over at my blog post for it and it is literally a red dot not made by Trypticon and it will fit the Trijicon RMR cut and it's about 150 to 200 dollars cheaper than a tragic on our mark I'm just waiting on one to arrive I believe it'll be here tomorrow not 100% sure but we will definitely be having a video about that that's aftermarket slide number one Brownell slides I've had that I've had great experiences with them you know the only complaint I've heard like I said was on the first iteration of them they were a little too boxy and some people had fitment issues with their holsters and they have since corrected that by chamfering them so there you go number two now I haven't really pulled this slide out a lot since I got it and that's because I've just been inundated with other stuff but the ltd combat slide this one is the catalyst slide this one is in one of their like distressed finishes you know you can get them in a multitude of different colors they also have them in DLC which is basically like night riding or your OEM you know slide finishes I believe every single one of these comes with an arm are cut on them and you can choose to get them with suppressor heights sights or without and I did a review on this a long time ago PI over a year ago now but the dang thing runs like a champ now the only issue that I had with this slide was when I first got it it was a little bit tight on the rails and I believe that they kind of over sprayed the inside of it with seracote but after I racked it a few times it started running flawlessly so let's get a little close-up here you know you got to get some front windows up here you got some side serrations here serrations along the bat and then on the top you have some windows up here and you do have serrations on the top now they're slides are bull-nosed which is very similar this is basically identical to the Glock 26 or the new gen 5s that just came out they all have bull nose as well one of the benefits to having a bull nose slide is it aids and rattray holstering it kind of like if the edge of the slide hits the holster it's kind of like a mag well you know what I mean it just guides into the holster easier however I haven't noticed any difference with them and I actually prefer the squared off front Glock slides to the bull nose I mean the bull nose aren't bad but when you put a comp on it it just doesn't look quite right unless it's cut for that bull nose and I haven't seen one yet ltd combat they're definitely awesome I do have a coupon code for their parts and the cool thing about them is they make a ton of stuff they don't just make slides they made the suppressor height sights that are on here they also have a lot of custom internals and guide rods and strikers and Springs they also have a trigger I like I said links and coupon codes would be at the blog post but definitely a great option and I can't say from experience that their slides run 100% reliably number two nor so C&C noun or so C&C started out as a company that you set your slide to them and they would cut it and then send it back to you however they've always kind of dabbled in having slides ready to order and they're actually going deeper into that I've already done other videos on some of their other slides if you want to see those videos there will be a link down in the description below so you can go check out the other noir so slides because I only have one of them here with me because I sent the others back to noir so but this one was amongst my favorite this one is their reptile and I've done a video on this one as well but this one is dead sexy this one was cut specifically for the vortex Viper I don't know if they offer that with their pre-cut slides I don't know you have to check their website but they do have these just ready to order you don't get a cinder slide in so I don't know if they have them for the vortex Viper as ready-made but they definitely have them for Trijicon but I mean this thing is just to die for if you look at this look at that I love the way this looks and you know it does it looks very reminiscent to a reptile scales that are on here you want to see the full video like I said links down in the description but this slide has ran like a champ I love it the other cool thing about noir so is they're one of the few companies that are nitriding slides so this one is nitrated but you can get them in different seracote options as well runs like a rape Dave also have coupon codes for this over at the blog post but I have nothing but great things to say about norsu I've been working with them since I pretty much started YouTube and I've never had a single issue out of any other slide I've always just put them together put them on my frame take them to the range never had a malfunction so great things from norsu so next up is the polymer eighty block slides now this one is a Glock 17 slide right here um what I love about their slides is they come in nitrites this one is actually in a flat dark earth nitride or you can get them in black nitride they I'm available right now for the Glock 17 and the Glock 19 and they just released not too long ago ones that have arm are cuts on them when I first got this there was no arm are cuts available from them you would have to send off the slide and then have it milled but nowadays they do have them with rmr cuts never had an issue with them let's get up close with this so I mean they're basic but they work I love like how clean these slides are hardly any there's only one little logo on the top there are these angled serrations but they cut into the slide it's not just like a straight serration beveled into it so no issues dripping it regardless of being nitride it one of the big risk of a nitride is slide is if they get the if they get the serrations wrong it's gonna be super slippery however with this one even on when I'm not touching the serrations they got the surface texture just right so you can still rack it even if you don't hit the serrations but the serrations are very nice polymer 80 slides are good to go definitely love them and like I said you can now get them with the RMR cut totally awesome I've never had a single issue out of these next up is you probably knew this was coming this one is the sleeper build that I just literally did not too long ago with Legion precision now Legion precision and I have been working on some stuff from the front form for a few months you know he came out with these minimalist slides right here and this one has you know just some front serrations up here some serrations back here there Sarah coded Sayre coded to your preferences and they are cut for the trigger guard I'm our only however if you want something different he also has them without the arm are cut this is just a bare metal slide right here this one is in bullnose and I don't remember exactly but he does have I believe the flat front and the bull knows available but like I said there will be a link at my website where you can check it out um so if you don't want to use an arm are you could get one of these and then send it off to whichever a machine shop you want to do it and they will you know mill it out for whichever optic now Legion precision doesn't cut slides he has these made and then he seracote some things of that nature so I believe I have like a forty dollar off coupon code for this one now this one oh man this one's dimpled I mean if you haven't seen the full video on this man I will put a link right up there so you can check that out but it's almost like knurling but it's not it's dimpled and I love this is just dead sexy right up there honestly with one of my favorite slides just because it's super grippy but it's got that real sleeper look to it so a couple of quick things you should know about any of these aftermarket slides when you purchase them typically when you purchase an aftermarket slide there's not going to be a channel liner in the slide you're gonna need to get channel liners and probably like a bolt or a channel liner tool where you can install these and so I will have links over at my blog post where you can get the channel liners that where you get the channel liners and the channel liner tools and you can just pop them right in not a problem also also with these slides I know that l2d combat is making gen 3 and Gen 4 slides and I believe nor so C & C has gen 3 engine forced slides for the other companies that we talked about Brownells Legion precision and polymer 80 they're all gen 3 slides however this right here is a gen 3 Jin 4 frame and then this is a gen 3 slide so you can most definitely put a gen 3 slide on a gin 4 frame and it will run perfectly the only downside is you will get that little bit of a gap there there is an adapter that will fill that in the adapters a little expensive for what it is but it definitely works that like I said I'll put a link over at my blog post so you can pick up one of those adapters if you want to use a gen 3 slide on a gin for Frank bring that home unless you know what you're doing I don't suggest doing this you can make the gin 4 slides fit a gin 3-gun however it does compromise the integrity of the frame and I don't suggest it because you know honestly this thing is in your hand and you know basically what people do is I take this huge drill bit and they widen this little section here so that the gin four slides will fit I don't recommend that like I said just because you now are compromising the structural integrity of the frame you don't want something blowing up in your hands so that's my top 5 favorite off-the-shelf Glock slides that you can buy right now like I said guys it doesn't matter which one of these you go with you're probably gonna have a good experience you know it doesn't matter if you go with the Brownells one it doesn't matter if you go with the legion precision one or any of the other ones we talked about I'm like I said I do have coupon codes for every single one of these and I will put a link to my blog post where you can get those coupon codes and links just in case it's something you're looking for so let me know if you guys have any questions down in the comments section below and also let me know which one of these five was your favorite and why so if you liked this video just go ahead and hit the like button if you don't like it that's okay you can just go away I'm not gonna judge you but until next time you guys stay sexy and I love you
