Glock 48 OEM Slide

The Glock 48 OEM Slide brings factory-original engineering to Glock’s most refined Slimline platform. Whether you need a direct replacement, a reliable base for a custom build, or an upgrade for your everyday carry setup, this genuine slide delivers the exact fit and function the G48 demands.

Glock finishes this slide in Silver PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) — a coating that resists corrosion, handles holster wear, and holds its distinctive silver-gray appearance through thousands of rounds. At 4.17 inches, the barrel provides a longer sight radius than subcompact alternatives so you shoot more accurately while keeping the profile slim enough for deep concealment.

Key Features:

• Silver PVD finish — superior corrosion and wear resistance with a distinctive silver-gray look
• 4.17-inch factory barrel — longer sight radius and improved velocity over subcompacts
• Front and rear serrations — firm, confident grip for press checks and slide manipulation
• Slimline single-stack profile — the slimmest 9mm carry package Glock makes
• Factory OEM quality — guaranteed fit and function on G48 and G43X frames
• No custom milling or fitting required — drop-in ready

Maintenance Tips:

• For carry use, check frequently for lint and debris buildup due to constant body contact
