It was right at a week for them to add NS to my G23's slide, round trip. I just put the slide in a small flat-rate box with a USPS MO for $57 and dropped it in the mail slot. I'm thinking of sending my G17 and 19 slides off soon.

Keep in mind you get $50 worth automatically with Priority Mail. |

Buy a Maryland Gun Works glock sight tool.
It's pricey but 100% worth it if you own more than one or two glocks. Lend it out and you'll make friends fast

Sent my slide to Glock USPS Priority Mail on Monday Oct 26th, got it back FedEX Ground Thursday Nov 5th. They updated the firing pin assembly and extractor as well, it was a Gen 3 23 bought in 2000. Can't beat it for $57 plus shipping cost to Glock.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PeteyPete:

I had several slides to do.....so i opted to just buy the sights and a mgw sight tool. I have 8 or 9 glocks anyways......so now i can more easily mess with sights.

It is a good deal. If you want NS, do it.
Personally, I really do like the stock non-night sights. |

I sent in four stripped slides thanks to this thread. About a two week turn around - door to door. All new guts provided. Glock even included a factory pistol case. I need another one of those like a hole in the head, but it was a nice touch. Highly recommend!

I sent in two slides for sights on 10/25/2015 a gen2 and a gen4. They charged me on 11/03/2015, I received a receipt in the mail on 11/10/2015 and the slides arrived on 11/11/2015 (after I got back from the range go figure).
Neither slide was stripped when sent but all parts were inspected and replaced. They included an itemized invoice in the box with the slides, the Gen 2 was totally rebuilt including a new RSA. The gen 4 got new extractor parts and new firing pin parts. |

I just mine back today, right at 2 weeks round trip.
Time to put back all of the original parts and put the others in the spares kit. I'm thinking I'll send off the other 3 slides for the same treatment

I sent in two model 19 slides on Saturday.
I didn't know about stripping the slide until I read this thread. At first I wasn't going to do it then thought what the heck it's free stuff and takes only two minutes to do. The factory plastic sights are shit. The ones on my two 19s are starting to flake and chip, and one of them does nothing but sit in the safe. It was time to upgrade. I've been carrying my big-ass Beretta 92fs in the meantime. |

This seems like a no-brainer. Especially if I strip down the slide.
Questions for you guys getting the night sights. Do most of you use them for a carry gun, or would you prefer something with a blacked out rear and a bright front sight for your carry? |

I like a black rear with a bright front on the range, but in real life, three dot tritium works much better for me if I don't have a light. With an X300 on the gun the night sights are not necessary at all. |
