The Rival Arms RA10G106A Precision Slide transforms the Glock 17 Gen4 platform with enhanced accuracy and optics-ready capability. This aftermarket slide features a Docter footprint optic cut and QPQ case-hardened finish for superior durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory Glock slides, this precision-machined 17-4 stainless steel construction delivers tighter tolerances and improved barrel lockup. The QPQ (Quench-Polish-Quench) nitride treatment provides a hardness rating of 65-70 HRC, significantly exceeding standard coating durability. The integrated Docter optic cut eliminates the need for aftermarket machining while maintaining structural integrity.
Key Features
- 17-4 stainless steel construction with QPQ case-hardened finish
- Pre-cut Docter footprint for direct red dot mounting
- Enhanced slide serrations for positive grip in all conditions
- Precision-machined ejection port for reliable brass extraction
- Compatible with factory Glock 17 Gen4 barrels and components
- Matte black finish reduces glare and provides tactical appearance
- CNC-machined from billet steel for consistent dimensions
Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy improvements over factory slides, with many users reporting sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards. The rigid construction minimizes flex during firing, contributing to enhanced precision in competitive shooting applications. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar Rival Arms slides for duty use due to their proven reliability through thousands of rounds.
