Brownells & Glockworx Team Up To Deliver Slides For Glocks

January 5, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Glockworx Slide

 

Through an exclusive partnership with Glockworx, Brownells is now offering a selection of slides pre-cut for popular optics to fit the Glock 17, in-stock and ready-to-ship.

Made for the Glock 17, the top rear of each Optic Cut Slide features a large precision-relieved slot allowing close-to-the-bore mounting of optics to minimize sight offset problems on short range targets. Also, the slide top near the front sight is ported to reduce overall slide weight, reduce recoil impulse and improve control of the pistol.

“The design teams at Glockworx and Brownells have worked together to develop four Glock slides to fit the Model 17 with pre-cut slots at the precise depth, width and angle to fit the most popular optics on the market.,” said Pete Brownell, President of Brownells Inc. “The custom work has been done already, just swap your Glock 17 factory slide for a Glockwork slide, install your optics or iron sights, and you’re ready to shoot.”

The Optic Cut Slides accommodate Dr Optic, Burris FastFire, JPoint, and RMR Optics. The cut on each slide model varies to fit the specialized base shape and mounting-screw pattern of those optics. There’s also an iron-sight-ready model. Because the optics sit down into the Glockworx cuts, they present a reduced profile and have very little offset between the sight and barrel – a critical advantage for those really close shots.

Six ports cut into the top of the slides reduce slide weight for faster target transitions and reduced recoil impulse.

Each replacement Glockworx slide is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade heat-treated stainless steel for long life. The sight cuts, ports, lowered ejection port, firing pin hole, breech face, and front and rear cocking serrations are precision-machined to ensure a precise fit and flawless function. The surfaces are finished with Zev Technology’s black DLC coating to resist corrosion and damage. All are currently available here.

At Brownells everything is guaranteed period! …Forever, 100%, with no restocking fees. Founded in 1939, they supply more than 50,000 firearms parts, accessories, gunsmithing tools and ammunition to armorers, gunsmiths, and shooters worldwide.

GLOCK TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS

MEPROLIGHT GLOCK TRU-DOT TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS

MEPROLIGHT GLOCK TRU-DOT TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS

 

I made it to the ripe old age of 44 without any ambition or desire for TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS for a Handgun or Rifle. Then last October I was visiting Hoffman’s Guns with a good friend. He was buying an AR-15 and I was just along for moral support. The story was kind of busy and my friend was taking his time chatting and filling out the forms for his rifle. In that time I started to look at the 1911’s. Next thing I knew I was dropping off $1800 on a KIMBER TACTICAL ENTRY II .45acp 1911.  So much for moral support.

This 1911 while not the best looking weapon it had all the right stuff that I look for with the addition of  TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS. In the six months that I have owned the KIMBER TACTICAL ENTRY II 1911 I have grown quite fond of the TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHTS. So much so I now have them on an AR-15 and my SIG SAUER P226 ENHANCED ELITE. This brings me to my current Dilemma. My brand new GLOCK 22. The GLOCK 22 has the plain Jane factory sights and they need to go. One problem though. I am a little bit overwhelmed at the TRITIUM NIGHT SIGHT options available for the GLOCK 22. Below is a list of the sights I am considering. You can read their specifications  here at Brownells.

  1. AMERIGLO
  2. MEPROLIGHT GLOCK TRU-DOT
  3. TRIJICON
  4. ARO-TEK
  5. TRUGLO
  6. EAI HOLDING, INC

Now here’s the thing. While I’m trying to decide exactly which set to purchase I thought I would let sight visitors chime in and give their opinion of the various models.

Lastly do I really need this tool a GLOCK SIGHT MOVER/PUSHER for moving the rear site?

Opinions are welcome and encouraged.

The success of my combatrifle.net has created several offshoot websites with more focused content. It’s my hope to eventually have these offshoot sites stand on their own so combatrifle.net can get back to it’s namesake roots. To that end I present you with Tacticalhandgun.com. It’s my hope that within these pages and posts you will enjoy the niche content users have asked for.
