Heat-Treated 17-4 Stainless Steel Construction
This Turbo stripped slide is crafted from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and durability for demanding use environments. 17-4 stainless steel is a precipitation-hardening alloy known for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. The heat treatment process further enhances the material's mechanical properties, ensuring the slide maintains dimensional stability and structural integrity even under sustained fire or hard use. The black nitride finish penetrates the surface of the steel, providing superior corrosion and wear resistance that won't flake or peel. This combination of premium material and protective finish creates a foundation built for long-term reliability across various shooting applications.
Top Window Cut for Weight Reduction and Ported Barrels
The top window cut is a defining feature of the Turbo slide design, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. By removing material from the top of the slide, the window cut reduces overall slide weight, which can contribute to faster cycling speed and reduced reciprocating mass. This weight reduction can enhance recoil management and allow for quicker slide return to battery, particularly valuable in competition shooting or rapid-fire scenarios. The window cut also creates an aggressive, modern aesthetic that distinguishes this slide from standard configurations while providing visual access to the barrel during cycling. This design element combines performance enhancement with eye-catching styling appropriate for custom builds.
RMR Cut and Enhanced Serrations
The slide features an RMR cut compatible with Trijicon RMR and RMR-S footprint optics, providing versatility for modern red dot mounting. The precision-machined cut ensures proper optic seating and zero retention, while the included cover plate allows builders to run traditional iron sights initially or when optics are not desired. The front and rear serrations are machined to provide improved grip during charging, press checks, and malfunction clearance—particularly valuable when wearing gloves or in wet conditions. As a stripped slide, this component offers complete flexibility in parts selection, allowing builders to choose their preferred barrel, sight configuration, striker assembly, extractor, firing pin, and recoil spring system. Compatible with standard Glock 17 Gen 1-3 sights, the Turbo slide accepts both OEM and aftermarket components for maximum customization potential.
Follow safe handling practices and manufacturer instructions at all times. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Verify proper headspacing and component compatibility before assembly. Confirm all internal components are correctly installed and functioning before live fire. Ensure RMR optic is properly mounted and torqued to manufacturer specifications if installed. Use appropriate eye and ear protection during all shooting activities.
