BTW check youtube.

You can also have slide cover plates engraved with your name, logo, or anything you want at RockYourGlock.com

I have not had much luck filling the engraving in with a color, I think it's too shallow. But it comes as black with silver engraving, which also looks sharp on it's own.

What exactly does this piece do as far as functionality?

This slide cover slides in a dovetail in the slide and retains the firing pin assembly and exractor spring assembly.

Is there any chance of decreasing reliability with one of these custom pieces? Just based on the pictures, they seem to be made of a different material than the stock piece

The stock GLOCK part is polymer. I have a polymer one on my wifes G34 that is a stock cover engraved with her name, Kimber.(Isn't that cute)

 

I have seen other after market covers that are aluminum. I have never heard of a failure with either. But then again I have modified GLOCKs but always carry a 100% stock pistol(all GLOCK factory parts). So stock is best I guess.

My 19 is my "go to gun", and while I don't "carry" it per se, not sure I would wanna mess with it just for aesthetics. Only thing I've changed on mine is the magazine release (Vicker's extended release) and the sights (next week actually). So, yeah, best to leave Glock "perfection" alone me thinks

 

Thanks for the info, OS

Caine- funny you should say that...I brought my G19 home and changed the magazine release before I ever fired it. Original was too small and I couldn't reliably drop a mag.

 

There are many reasons for leaving a defense gun stock. Have you got a site pusher? If not PM me.

Even with my longish fingers, I couldn't reliably hit the release without adjusting my grip on the gun, so for peace of mind, I swapped it out. I bought the extended release before I bought the gun and then spent an hour trying to figure out how to work the bar that puts tension on the release. Felt like a dumba$s once I figured it out

 

I had ordered a universale pusher only to find out it was backordered after the fact, and ended up canceling the order. I'm working with someone now on the sights, but if it doesn't work out, I'll let you know. Thanks bud!

Here you go - a little more visual

I like the glock symbol one or even the american flag.....interesting. May have to get this and a plug for the bottom of my grip at the same time. Thanks Tim!
