Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stripped Glock slide?
A stripped slide is a bare slide body, without any internal components, barrel, or sights—perfect for those who want to hand-pick every element of their Glock build.
Are Desert Cat stripped slides compatible with OEM Glock frames?
Yes! Slides are designed for perfect compatibility with both OEM and most aftermarket Glock frames—but always check your model (Gen 1-3, 17, 19, etc.) for fit.
What are the benefits of window cuts and RMR optic cuts?
Window cuts lower slide weight, improve cycling speed, and provide enhanced barrel cooling—while RMR cuts make optic upgrades fast and easy.
Is Cerakote finish worth it?
Absolutely! Cerakote delivers elite protection from corrosion and scratches while looking fantastic—making your investment last and stand out.
