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.
