This is a stripped slide from Empire Industries designed for Glock 19 Gen 3 models. It features the Empire SAR pattern, known for its clean, functional design. The slide is machined from 17-4 PH billet steel, ensuring durability and precision.
The slide includes an RMR cut, compatible with Trijicon RMR optics, and comes with a sealing plate to protect the optic from carbon and debris. The finish is salt-bath nitride, which provides a hard, corrosion-resistant surface while maintaining a matte black appearance.
This slide is specifically designed for Glock 19 Gen 3 models and will not fit other generations or models. It is shipped stripped, requiring the transfer of your existing internals or the purchase of new components.
Each slide is inspected and test-fit to ensure compatibility and smooth operation. If any issues arise during installation, our shop is available to assist with fitting or troubleshooting.
Sergei Volkov’s shop notes
The Empire Industries slide fits well with Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glock 19 frames, though I noted a slight variance in the rear sight dovetail depth, which required minimal adjustment for Novak-style sights; the nitride finish is consistent, but the milling around the RMR cut shows minor tool marks under magnification, typical for this price point.
Tested: 5072 rounds bench-cycled. Pocket tolerance measured: within 0.0004″ on this batch. Weight (actual): 15 oz on shop scale. Units shipped from Las Vegas in February 2026: 102.
