ACRO CUT SLIDE FOR GLOCK® 17 GEN 3

ACRO CUT SLIDE FOR GLOCK® 17 GEN 3 Reviews & Ratings

The Brownells Acro Cut Slide for Glock® 17 Gen3 brings the ease and convenience of our popular RMR Slides to folks who prefer to mount an Aimpoint Acro P-1 red dot sight on their pistols. This slide comes with a slot machined into the top for mounting the Acro P-1 - just screw on the sight (screws included) and... hit the range!

All Acro Cut slides have factory-style rear cocking serrations, plus front serrations for easier slide manipulation - chamber checks and jam clearance. A window cutout on top between the front serrations aids in heat dissipation to cool the barrel during extended fire. Plus, if you have an upgraded barrel with a contrasting finish or a unique exterior pattern (fluting, spirals, "flames," etc.), the window lets a bit of that bling shine through.

  • Fits Gen3 Glock® 17 pistols & clones
  • Machined from corrosion-resistant 17-4 stainless steel billet
  • Pre-cut Aimpoint Acro P-1 mounting slot
  • Factory front & rear sight cuts, too
  • Distinctive top window cutout

Each Acro Cut Slide for Glock® 17 is precision machined from solid 17-4 stainless steel billet that's heat-treated to Rc 41-44 on the Rockwell C scale for excellent resistance to galling and surface wear. Inside, the slide is machined to accept readily available factory or aftermarket Gen3 Glock® parts. Outside, there's a Glock® factory rear sight dovetail and a standard Glock® front sight tenon cut ready for any factory or aftermarket "iron" sights (actually, plastic or steel) that can be co-witnessed with the Acro P-1. A tough, non-reflective Black Nitride finish boosts the slide's resistance to surface wear and protects it from corrosion.

Brownells Gun Tech™ Note: Channel liner required for these slides. Channel liner is a press fit and requires a tool to install. We recommend #777-100-017.
