I just ordered a Gen 4 OD frame for my G17 from Glockmeister and was going to sell the black frame, but there doesn't seem to be any interest in it so I guess I'll keep it and buy a replacement slide for it. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement or aftermarket slide? Glockmeister is out of them. I'd also like a C model slide. Does Glock offer the "C" model in the Gen 4?

Wouldn't it have made more sense to just buy a new 17 in OD?

Like I said I was going to sell the black frame since I'd bought the OD frame which is what I wanted all along.  I had originally bought the black Glock 17 off of a relative at a crazy low price that I couldn't pass up.

but with just buying the frame  nothing else matches

Are you talking about the numbers matching? If so, that doesn't bother me.

There's a few sellers on Gunbroker who part out new Glocks as well.  You're looking at $350+ for a new, complete upper half.

Scour the EE for a upper half also.

I've seen several recently.

Lone Wolf sells excellent aftermarket slides. They are stainless. I own 3 and am considering another for my current build. You can get them engraved any way you wish (which I did) and have them blackened if you wish. Really kind of unlimited. But I know first hand their quality and customer service is excellent.

Thanks but they don't seem to offer any Gen 4 slides.

I picked up an OD Gen 3 G19 frame on Gunbroker for pretty cheap, and had my Advantage Arms slide coated to match just to have something different.

Wow that looks really good. What is the color on the slide?

You could also put an Advantage Arms 22LR kit on the spare frame to have a dedicated training setup.

Thanks - it looks even better in person than it does in the picture. Patrick at Area 7 Precision (see this thread) cerakoted it and was able to make the color match. As he didn't have an FFL, I couldn't send him the frame , so I sent him  one of the removable back straps from an OD Gen 4 G19 to work with.
