Optics Integration and Sight System
This kit combines a primary red dot sight with a secondary fiber optic backup system. The Gideon Optics Granite sight mounts directly to the RMR footprint, a standard interface for modern Glock slides. The tall profile fiber optic rear sight remains active and visible, giving you redundancy if the red dot fails. Both sights are already installed and zeroed from the factory, so you can mount this slide to a compatible frame and get to the range immediately.
Barrel and Slide Construction
The 416R stainless steel barrel is finished with nitride coating, which hardens the surface and resists corrosion far better than bare stainless. The Sniper Gray Cerakote on the slide provides a durable ceramic finish that handles wear and moisture without chipping easily. This combination creates a slide assembly that holds up to regular use and cleaning without requiring constant maintenance.
Compatibility and Installation
This complete slide kit fits Gen 1-3 Glock 17 lower frames. The RMR footprint is standard across most modern Glock slides, but verify your lower receiver's compatibility before purchasing. The slide assembly includes all internal components and both sights, so you only need a compatible frame to complete the firearm. Lower receiver not included.

FAQ
Will this slide fit my Glock 17?
This kit is compatible with Gen 1-3 Glock 17 lower receivers. Gen 4 and Gen 5 frames use different slide profiles and are not compatible. Check your frame's generation before ordering.
Can I use this with my existing Glock barrel?
No. This is a complete slide assembly with the barrel already installed and headspaced. You attach the entire slide to your compatible lower frame as one unit.
What if I want to use only the fiber optic sight?
Both sights are installed and functional. You can aim with the fiber optic rear sight alone if the red dot is not your preference, though the red dot is the primary aiming system on this kit.
Is the optics mount removable?
The Gideon Optics red dot is mounted to the RMR footprint on the slide. If you want to remove it later, you can, but it comes installed from the factory.
How do I maintain the Sniper Gray finish?
The Cerakote finish is durable and resistant to wear. Standard cleaning with a soft brush and gun oil keeps it in good condition. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the ceramic coating.
What lower receiver do I need?
Any Gen 1-3 Glock 17 lower receiver will work with this slide. Make sure your frame matches the generation compatibility before assembly.
Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included.
