Upgrade your Glock with the Glock 20C Gen 3 OEM Slide — a factory-compensated slide built for powerful 10mm performance with improved control.

Product Description | Specs for Glock 20C Gen 3 OEM Slide

Glock machines this slide from high-strength steel and applies a durable factory finish for long-lasting wear and corrosion resistance. The defining feature of the 20C slide is its integrated porting, which works with a ported barrel to vent gases upward—reducing muzzle flip and enabling faster follow-up shots. Built on Glock’s proven Gen 3 design, it delivers consistent performance under demanding conditions.
