Forged G17 Slide Kit Finished in FDE, Vented, and Ready for a Red Dot
Trade your factory G17 slide for something lighter and optic-ready in Flat Dark Earth, all in one order. This kit bundles the forged LF17 Elite slide with your choice of barrel and a complete upper parts kit, leaving just sights (or your red dot) to finish the job.
The forged 416R stainless slide is precision-machined to factory internal dimensions with an RMR optic cut, opening up compatibility with a wide range of red dots. Front and rear serrations make handling and racking easier, and the matte FDE Cerakote finish holds up to fouling, wear, and corrosion over heavy use. Choose a non-threaded barrel for a standard build, or go threaded with a thread protector included if a suppressor or muzzle device is down the line — both are 416R stainless with a Black Nitride finish and 1:10 twist.
What's Included:
