Technical Tuesday: Replacing Your Slide

Slide Disassembly for Glock & Gun Slide Replacement

This week, Technical Tuesday is building on our post discussing slide disassembly and replacement for Glock-pattern pistols.

In the video above, we walk you through one of the most common modifications for Glock handguns; the disassembly and replacement of a slide. We show you how to do it with the right tools and also some tips and tricks in case you don’t have the right tools on hand.

Watch and learn how to strip your current slide if you’re planning to reuse the existing internal parts (please note, you will need a new channel liner as that is a one-time-use part).

We show you how to use the reused parts, and then we will also show you how to use the parts from a slide completion kit in your new slide.

If you want to read a step by step with pictures as you disassemble your Glock slide, read our post about Glock modifications.

And, as always, if you run into any issues with the slide disassembly and replacement, give us a call at (469) 458-6808.
