Compatible Glock Models

This rear slide cover plate fits Glock Gen 1 through Gen 5 pistols including models 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 45. It replaces the factory plastic back plate with a machined aluminium component for owners who want a more durable finish and custom appearance. Shooters using G42, G43, G43X or G48 models cannot use this part.

Material and Finish

The plate is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade T6 aluminium and receives a red anodised hard-coat finish. Ultra-high-resolution laser engraving provides the "No Step On Snek" artwork without paint that can wear away. The billet construction eliminates the flex and cracking sometimes seen on the original polymer part.

Upgrade From Factory Plastic

This accessory directly replaces the OEM polymer slide cover plate on compatible Glocks. The aluminium version adds rigidity and a permanent engraved graphic that will not fade or chip like painted or moulded alternatives. The improvement is most noticeable for users who prefer a metal component that maintains its appearance after extended range sessions or daily carry.

Questions about this item

How is the GLK-SP-G5-RED-NOSNK-LE installed and what step is commonly missed?

Remove the factory plastic slide cover plate by depressing the firing pin safety and sliding the plate rearward; the step often missed is ensuring the firing pin spring cups stay seated before fitting the new aluminium plate.

What maintenance or replacement will the red anodised aluminium cover plate need later?

The hard-coat anodising and laser engraving are wear-resistant; no scheduled maintenance is required, and the plate only needs replacement if physical damage occurs.

Which Glock models hit the compatibility limit first with this Gen 1-5 cover plate?

The plate fits G17, G19, G21, G22, G23, G24, G26, G27, G29, G30, G31, G32, G33, G34, G35, G36, G37, G38, G39, G40, G41 and G45; it does not fit G42, G43, G43X or G48.
