Compatibility with Other Models

Because Glock designed this slide specifically for the 19X frame, it maintains perfect alignment with 19X locking geometry. However, it is not compatible with Gen 4 or Gen 5 Glock 19 frames due to internal differences. Furthermore, it is not intended for use with non-19X barrels because the fitment and lock-up may be compromised.

What Are Glock 19X Slides Made Of?

Glock machines the 19X slide from high-grade steel to deliver maximum durability and long-term reliability. Moreover, the nPVD finish protects the surface from corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental exposure. This coating also provides a refined, low-glare appearance that performs well in defensive or field conditions.

• Optics: Add compatible micro-red-dot sights for quicker target acquisition.
• Sights: Install upgraded iron sights to improve visibility.
• Finish: Apply Cerakote or specialty coatings for a custom look.
