Good Upgrade
Good upgrade over factory plastic part and very easy to install. Fits snug and looks great with black finish.

Slick and better than the original
Easy drop-in replacement for the standard slide cover plate. Looks great and doesn't loosen up like the plastic ones do.

Better than OEM
This is great for building that "custom" Glock or replacing the OEM back plate on your slide. If you completely strip your Glock for cleaning once in a while, the OEM plastic back plate begins to loosen up and sometimes will warp the edges. This is tough and will last forever. Fits better than the OEM as well.

cover plate
it is very tight on my caspian glock 22 slide. it definately is better than the stock part if you detail strip your slide often, but the tightness has meant that the finish has been messed up due to using pliers to get it out.

Nice but...
This plate is much more professional looking than the factory cover. However, once installed it is not coming off without forcefully ripping it out of the slide. I had to use a hammer and flathead screwdriver to get it off the firearm. And in the process it gets scratched up and looks like junk now. Slipped the cheap looking factory cover back in and accepted the fact it looks cheap.
