The Strike Industries GSP V2 Slide Cover Plate transforms the rear of Glock pistols with a sleek, functional upgrade that replaces the factory plastic cover plate. This precision-machined component eliminates the common failure point of cracked or broken OEM plates while adding a distinctive aesthetic element to Gen 1-4 Glock frames.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory plastic cover plates that crack under stress or temperature changes, the GSP V2 features CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing. The enhanced design provides 300% greater impact resistance compared to OEM plastic components. Strike Industries engineered this plate with improved retention geometry that maintains secure fitment through thousands of firing cycles without loosening or shifting.

Field testing demonstrates the GSP V2's ability to withstand extreme conditions that destroy factory plates.
