Iron Sight Glock Replacement Slides
If you could only make these slides more like the Generation 5 Glock slides but gor the generation 3 slides that have the benefit of Front Side Only grip serrations, without Your added serrations on the Top Front (Rear Sides & Front Sides Only) being also on the Top of the Slide, they are cosmetically Ugly and don't add much more benefit if you would just have the cuts for grip on both sides, Front & Back. This would be an asset that would implore more enthusiasts to purchase & probably several.
I hope someone who could influence this change is listening here.
Regards & Stay Safe.

Great on Glock gen 3 lower
I was real impressed with the fit and finish of this slide, it assembled easy with Glock upper parts kit and went on my Glock gen 3 lower no problrms but for some reason this slide wont fit on my Polymer80 Glock 19 lower. I have no issues with the Glock gen 3 slide or Swenson Glock 19 slide on the polymer 80 lower either. So if you are looking at this slide for your polymer 80 build I wouldnt recommend this slide.
