Glock 48 OEM Slide

Upgrade your Glock with the Glock 48 OEM Slide — a factory slimline slide built for balance, concealability, and reliable everyday performance. Designed for Glock’s single-stack platform, this slide offers a longer sight radius while maintaining a thin profile ideal for carry use.

Product Description | Specs for Glock 48 OEM Slide

Glock machines this slide from high-strength steel and applies a durable nDLC (diamond-like carbon) finish for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance. The slimline design reduces overall width while preserving strength and reliability. Engineered for smooth cycling and consistent accuracy, the Glock 48 slide pairs perfectly with Glock’s compact, single-stack frame system.
